Gum cleft during canine tooth movement
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a small gum opening (gingival cleft) forms when a canine tooth is pulled back after premolar removal. It may help understand how gums heal during orthodontic treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have had your first premolars removed (upper, lower, or both).
- You must have all your permanent teeth except for wisdom teeth.
- You cannot have severe crowding of teeth.
- You must not smoke.
- You cannot have gum disease (periodontitis) or poor gum health.
- You should not have any other health condition that affects healing or bone, like diabetes.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares a surgery-assisted technique to the standard braces method for moving canine teeth into the space left by removing a premolar. It looks at how much root shortening (resorption) happens with each method.
This study compares two ways to close a gap between your front teeth: clear aligners or traditional braces, both combined with a quick laser procedure to loosen the gum tissue. It aims to see which method closes the gap better and keeps it closed.
This study tests whether applying vitamin D3 or a special gum massage (corticision) next to the teeth can help move your eye teeth (canines) faster after your upper first premolars are removed for braces. It is for teenagers or young adults who already need that extraction as part of their orthodontic plan.
This study looks at how the appearance of the gums relates to crowding of teeth in children. It will examine kids in different stages of tooth development to see if there is a link.
This study tests three different ways to rebuild gum and bone around a new dental implant placed right after a tooth is pulled. It may help if you need a front tooth, canine, or premolar removed and have enough bone for the implant.
This trial studies the best timing for placing a gum (soft tissue) graft after getting an implant right away when a tooth is removed. It may help improve healing and the long-term appearance and stability of the implant.
