Gum recession repair with tooth-colored fillings
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether placing a tooth-colored filling in a cavity near the gum line can help cover exposed roots when combined with a common gum graft procedure. It may be an option for people who need both a filling and gum recession surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have gum recession where the root is exposed and needs surgery to cover it.
- You have a non-cavity tooth wear or an old filling in that same area, and the gap is shallow (1.5 mm or less).
- You have good oral hygiene and have completed any needed deep cleaning before the study.
- You are willing and able to sign a consent form and attend follow-up visits.

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 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.
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 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.
