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 whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) into the gums can help cover receding gums and reduce tooth sensitivity. It may be an option for people with mild to moderate gum recession who are healthy and non-smokers.
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 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 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.
