Gum Grafting Surgery for Lower Front Tooth Root Coverage
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a surgical technique to cover exposed tooth roots on the inside of your lower front teeth using gum tissue from the roof of your mouth. It may help reduce sensitivity and improve the appearance of receded gums.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–65 years
- Exposed tooth roots (at least 3 mm) on the inner side of lower front teeth, canines, or premolars
- Healthy, vital teeth (not dead or heavily treated)
- Good oral hygiene (less than 20% plaque buildup)
- Smoke 10 or fewer cigarettes per day
- Enough palate tissue (roof of mouth) to donate for the graft

This study compares two ways of doing gum graft surgery to cover exposed tooth roots and improve gum health. You might benefit if you have receding gums on your lower front teeth and are looking for a treatment to reduce sensitivity and protect your teeth.
This trial studies a “free mucogingival graft,” a surgical gum tissue transplant, to cover exposed root (recession) in a specific area of the lower front teeth. If you have a deep recession in a healthy mouth with low gum bleeding, you may be able to try this approach and help researchers learn how well it works.
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 study tests a gum surgery technique that covers exposed tooth roots using a special gum graft (from a donor) and a blood concentrate to help healing. It aims to reduce pain and root sensitivity and improve the look of your 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 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.
