This study tests whether a special light treatment (laser) plus a natural gel (hyaluronic acid) can help your gums heal better after a free gingival graft — a procedure to cover exposed tooth roots and increase gum tissue.

This study tests whether adding hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the body, to standard gum surgery helps treat receding gums. It may improve healing and gum coverage.
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 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 study tests whether adding platelet-rich fibrin (a substance made from your blood that aids healing) or hyaluronic acid (a natural gel-like compound) to a standard gum graft improves healing. It is for people with gum recession or thin gums who need this type of surgery.
This trial tests whether a special light treatment (photobiomodulation therapy) combined with a hyaluronic acid gel can help your gums heal better after a gum reduction procedure. It may be a good option if you have swollen gums from long-term inflammation and are looking for a way to improve healing.
This study tests if adding a special hyaluronic acid gel to a standard gum-repair surgery (called a coronally advanced flap) helps improve the results for people with a single receding gum. It may lead to better gum coverage and healing.
