Gum graft shrinkage and tissue changes
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at a gum graft procedure using tissue from the roof of your mouth. It measures how the graft shrinks and how the tissue changes, which could help improve future gum treatments.

This study looks at how gum grafts change shape around dental implants. If you have a dental implant with thin gum tissue on the cheek side, this could help understand how to improve it.
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 using a small piece of tissue from your own body can improve the gum around dental implants. It might help if you have thin or narrow gum tissue.
This study looks at how the roof of the mouth heals after a small piece is taken for a gum graft, comparing people with diabetes to people without. It aims to see if healing is different and to improve care.
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 study uses 3D digital scans to measure gum tissue changes after a gum grafting procedure. It may be helpful for people with receding gums on their lower front teeth.
