Gum tissue width and root coverage in gum recession
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study examines how the width of gum tissue affects the success of gum grafting procedures for patients with receding gums on front teeth. Understanding this relationship may help doctors plan better treatment outcomes for gum recession.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have gum recession (gums pulling away from teeth) on upper or lower front teeth, at least 2mm deep
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are generally healthy with no conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or thyroid disease
- You do not smoke or use tobacco products
- Your front teeth are properly aligned (not crooked)
- Your gums are in good condition with low bleeding and plaque buildup (20% or less)
- You have not had gum grafting surgery on the affected tooth before

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to treat receding gums on the upper teeth. One method uses a small incision under the gum, the other involves moving the gum forward. Both use a graft of connective tissue to cover exposed roots. The goal is to see which works better and is more comfortable.
This study compares two gum grafting methods (one using a special collagen material plus soft tissue, the other using soft tissue alone) to treat multiple gum recessions on the lower jaw. It may help find a better way to cover exposed roots and improve gum health.
This trial compares two different gum grafting methods to treat advanced gum recession in front teeth. It aims to see if adding a special connective tissue wall helps improve root coverage and gum health.
This study tests different approaches to improve gum recession (when gums pull back) using a free gum-tissue graft. It may help people who have a specific pattern of thin, low-attached gum tissue and need grafting on the lower front teeth.
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 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.
