Collagen matrix versus gum graft for receding gums
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical techniques to treat receding gums (where gum pulls back from teeth): a lab-made collagen matrix versus a graft taken from your own tissue. Both aim to cover exposed tooth roots, improve appearance, and reduce sensitivity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- At least 18 years old
- Have gum recession on at least two front teeth or premolars (middle teeth) that is 2 mm or deeper
- At least 2 mm of attached gum tissue below the recession area
- Gum recession is causing cosmetic concern or tooth sensitivity
- Excellent oral hygiene (low plaque and bleeding scores)
- No active gum disease or untreated tooth decay

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 compares two surgical techniques (MCAT and VISTA) to fix receding gums on multiple teeth. It tests which method better restores gum thickness and reduces tooth sensitivity or cosmetic concerns.
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.
This study compares using a medical glue (cyanoacrylate) to stitches for gum grafting surgery to cover exposed tooth roots. It may help people with receding gums who need a connective tissue graft.
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 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.
