Gum Recession and Quality of Life Study
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old
- You have gum recession of at least 1 mm (a small but visible amount of tooth root showing)
- You do not have systemic diseases affecting gums, such as diabetes or bleeding disorders
- You are not taking medications that cause gum swelling, like certain blood pressure or anti-seizure drugs
- You do not have habits like tongue thrusting or nail biting that damage gums
- Your teeth are stable and not loose, and have not had root canals or are covered by crowns

This study looks at gum recession (when gums pull away from teeth) in adults, comparing those who had braces in the past to those who did not. It aims to understand if orthodontic treatment affects gum health.
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 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 trial compares two types of gum surgery to cover exposed tooth roots when you have multiple adjacent gum recessions. It aims to find which approach works best for root coverage and long-term gum health.
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.
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.
