Measuring gum graft healing after surgery
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study measures how a gum graft surgery site heals over time. It's for people who are already scheduled for this specific procedure at Ohio State University and have mild to moderate gum recession on certain teeth. The goal is to understand normal healing after the surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a gum graft surgery (connective tissue graft) at Ohio State University's dental clinic.
- You have gum recession on your front teeth, canines, or premolars, and the recession is mild to moderate (class I, II, or III).
- Your gums are generally healthy (minimal inflammation and plaque).
- You are not taking certain medications (for seizures, high blood pressure, or immune system issues).
- You do not have diabetes (type 1 or 2), an organ transplant, or problems with your immune cells.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or using smokeless tobacco.

This study compares two ways of doing gum graft surgery to cover exposed tooth roots and improve gum health. You might benefit if you have receding gums on your lower front teeth and are looking for a treatment to reduce sensitivity and protect your teeth.
This trial looks at different dental (gum) surgeries to help cover areas where the gum has receded. If you have mild gum recession and good oral care, it may offer options to improve gum health and appearance.
This study looks at how gum recession (when gums pull back from teeth) affects your quality of life and oral health. Researchers will ask you questions and examine your teeth to understand this connection better.
This study compares different methods of adding soft tissue to help cover exposed or damaged roots in the gums. It may help if you need grafting for more than one area and can follow scheduled follow-up visits.
This study compares two surgical approaches to treat multiple areas of receded gums (where gum tissue has pulled back from teeth). Both techniques use grafted tissue to restore gum coverage and protect tooth roots.
This study tests a new volume-stable gum graft material to cover exposed tooth roots caused by receding gums. It is for healthy patients seeking treatment for gum recession on front teeth.
