Gum thickening around dental implants with microneedling and platelet gel
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to make the gum thicker around dental implants: a new method using microneedling with a special gel made from your own blood, versus a standard gum graft. The goal is to improve the appearance and health of the gum tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old and generally healthy.
- You have one or more dental implants that need a second surgery to expose them, in the front or premolar area.
- Your gum tissue around the implant is thin (less than 2 mm).
- You have good oral hygiene and are willing to attend follow-up visits for one year.
- You do not smoke heavily (less than 10 cigarettes per day), are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have no active infections or serious health conditions like uncontrolled diabetes.

This study compares two treatments — hyaluronic acid gel and I-PRF (a special liquid made from your own blood) — both combined with microneedling, to see which one better thickens the gum around dental implants. If you have thin gums around your implant, this treatment might help improve the appearance and health of your gum tissue.
This trial tests if adding a special blood concentrate (platelet-rich fibrin) to a standard gum graft helps thicken the gum tissue around a dental implant. It is for people with thin gums who are missing a single tooth.
This trial compares three techniques to thicken gum tissue around a single dental implant in the back of the lower jaw. It may help if you have thin gums and need a dental implant.
This trial tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (injectable platelet-rich fibrin) can help improve thin or narrow gum tissue around dental implants. It may be an option if you have less than 2 mm of gum width or thickness around your implant.
This study compares three types of graft (tissue/covering materials) to help build up thicker gum and soft tissue around a dental implant. It may help improve appearance and protect the implant area when you have thin or missing gum tissue.
This study tests a procedure to thicken thin gums using platelet-rich fibrin (a concentrate from your own blood) and microneedling, with or without vitamin C. It may help people with naturally thin gums improve gum health and appearance.
