Topical Phenytoin cream for receding gums
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a topical cream containing phenytoin (a medication) can help restore gum tissue that has receded or pulled away from teeth. Gum recession can cause sensitivity and aesthetic concerns, and this trial explores a non-surgical option for patients who prefer not to have surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have gum recession classified as type RT1 or RT2 (mild to moderate recession)
- You do not want surgical treatment for your gum recession
- You have not had gum surgery on the affected teeth
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You do not smoke
- You do not have systemic diseases or take medications that affect gum healing

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether using a tiny needle roller (microneedling) combined with a gum-advancement flap can help cover a receding gum on a front tooth, without needing a gum graft. It's for people with thin gums, and the goal is to reduce sensitivity and improve appearance.
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 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 trial studies a procedure called a free gingival graft to cover exposed (receding) tooth roots and improve comfort and appearance. You might benefit if you have gum recession in the front lower teeth and meet the specific dental and health requirements.
This trial tests whether an injectable healing material called platelet-rich fibrin can help cover exposed tooth root in front teeth with gum recession. If it works, it may reduce tooth sensitivity and improve appearance for people with suitable, healthy teeth and gums.
This trial is testing two methods for fixing receding gums: using a small piece of tissue from the roof of your mouth (connective tissue graft) versus using a special concentrate of your own blood (injectable platelet-rich fibrin). Both are done through a tiny tunnel under the gum, and the goal is to cover the exposed root and make your gums look and feel healthier.
