Gum thickening around dental implants
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a dental implant placed in the upper front area (the smile zone) that was inserted several months after the tooth was removed.
- The implant is positioned correctly and at the right angle.
- The gum around the implant is thin (1 mm or less).
- Your gums are otherwise healthy and you can keep good oral hygiene.
- You don't have significant bone loss around the implant, active gum disease, or conditions that slow healing.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medicines that affect the gums.

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.
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 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 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 tests a new way to make thin gums thicker using tiny needles that deliver hyaluronic acid (a natural moisture-holding substance) into the gum tissue. It's for people who have thin gums on their front teeth and want to improve their gum health and appearance.
This study tests whether adding a special gel to a gum graft procedure helps thicken thin gums better than the graft alone. It may help people with naturally thin gums who want to improve their gum health and appearance.
