Gum graft vs collagen for dental implant gum thickness
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to thicken the gum tissue around a new dental implant in the lower back jaw. One method uses a small piece of your own gum tissue, the other uses a collagen material.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You need a dental implant in the lower back jaw (molar area).
- Your gum tissue where the implant will go is thin (less than 2 mm).
- You are in good enough health for minor mouth surgery.
- You do not smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day.
- You are not allergic to collagen materials and have not had a previous graft fail in that area.

This study compares two ways to add gum tissue around a dental implant to improve its appearance and health. One method uses a small piece of your own gum tissue, and the other uses a special collagen material.
This trial compares three techniques to thicken gum tissue around a single dental implant in the back of the lower jaw. It may help if you have thin gums and need a dental implant.
This trial tests whether a collagen matrix can help improve the gum tissue around dental implants that have thin or insufficient gum width. It may help patients with narrow gum bands around their implants.
This trial tests whether a special collagen material placed around a new dental implant can help prevent bone loss in the upper front gum area. It is for people needing a single implant in a specific tooth zone and may help keep the bone strong for a better cosmetic result.
This study tests two ways to build up gum tissue where a tooth is missing before placing an implant or bridge. It compares using a small piece of your own gum (connective tissue graft) versus a man-made collagen material to see which gives better volume and shape.
This trial tests two different ways to improve gum tissue at the same time as placing a dental implant. It may help people who need more gum tissue, especially if they have thin gums.
