Comparing two methods to move gums for a dental crown
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests two ways to gently move gum tissue so a dentist can take an impression for a bridge or crown. It compares a traditional retraction cord with an aluminum chloride gel to see which works better.

This trial compares three ways to temporarily push the gums away from a tooth so a dentist can take an accurate mold for a single front crown. It is for people with healthy gums and a crown margin that sits slightly below the gumline.
This trial compares two ways to fix receding gums (a condition where your gums pull away from your teeth). It tests a newer technique using your own blood products versus a traditional graft to see which works better for moderate gum recession.
This study tests a gum surgery technique that covers exposed tooth roots using a special gum graft (from a donor) and a blood concentrate to help healing. It aims to reduce pain and root sensitivity and improve the look of your gums.
This trial looks at two ways to clean the tooth root before a common gum graft procedure. One method uses a special powder and water spray, the other uses hand tools. The goal is to see if one leads to better gum coverage.
This trial compares two ways to cover a receded gum on a single lower front tooth. It tests which method works better for people with mild to moderate gum recession.
This trial tests if a special blood-based graft (Alb-PRF) helps you heal better and feel less discomfort after a gum graft procedure compared to a standard one. It aims to improve your recovery after a free gingival graft.
