Comparing two ways to improve gum attachment around the lip tie
This study tests whether adding a small gum graft to the standard lip tie release procedure gives better results for the gum tissue around the tooth. It may help people with a high lip attachment who have shallow gum pockets.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in good general health
- You have good oral hygiene (less than 20% plaque and gum inflammation)
- You have a high attachment of the lip frenum (the tissue connecting your lip to your gums)
- You have a shallow depth of the gum pocket or sulcus
- If you smoke, you smoke 10 cigarettes or fewer per day
