Extra healing treatments for gum graft surgery
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a gum-repair approach that may help create more durable, firm gum tissue around teeth or dental implants. If your area lacks “keratinized” (firmer, protective) gum tissue, this could improve comfort and stability after dental work.
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 is testing two methods for fixing receding gums: using a small piece of tissue from the roof of your mouth (connective tissue graft) versus using a special concentrate of your own blood (injectable platelet-rich fibrin). Both are done through a tiny tunnel under the gum, and the goal is to cover the exposed root and make your gums look and feel healthier.
This study tests whether adding a special gel made from your own blood (albumin-PRF) to standard gum surgery helps your gums and bone heal better. It is for people with severe gum disease (periodontitis) who have already had a basic deep cleaning and still have deep pockets between their teeth.
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 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.
