Gum grafting for receding gums
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a gum grafting procedure to cover exposed tooth roots caused by receding gums. It aims to see if the width of the attached gum affects how well the graft works. If you have receding gums and are healthy, you might be a candidate.
