This study tested a new, less invasive surgery for receding gums. 24 adults with gum recession received a procedure using a donated tissue graft placed through a small tunnel under the gum. The goal was to cover exposed tooth roots and improve gum health. Results showed the treat…

This study tested two different places to take gum tissue for grafting—the back of the mouth (tuberosity) or the roof of the mouth (palate)—to fix receding gums on a single tooth. Thirty healthy adults with gum recession received one of the two grafts along with a gum-lifting pro…

This study tested whether adding a hyaluronic acid gel to standard gum surgery (coronally advanced flap) helps treat type 1 gum recession. Twenty adults with gum recession on both sides of the mouth took part. The gel aims to improve gum coverage and reduce discomfort. Results we…

This study compared two surgical techniques to treat receding gums: the pinhole technique and the tunnel technique. 21 adults with gum recession received both procedures on different teeth. The goal was to see which method better covered exposed roots and increased gum thickness …

This study involved 24 adults with receding gums to see if adding an enamel protein to a standard gum graft procedure improves results. The standard method uses a tissue graft placed under the gum with a small tunnel. Half the participants also got the enamel protein. Researchers…

This study tested whether a medical glue (butyl-cyanoacrylate) works as well as traditional stitches for holding gum grafts in place. Twenty-four adults with thin gums received either glue or stitches after graft surgery. Researchers tracked healing, graft size, patient comfort, …

This study tested three treatments for multiple receding gums in 60 healthy adults. It compared a collagen matrix, platelet-rich fibrin, and a connective tissue graft to see which covers exposed tooth roots best. The goal was to improve gum health and appearance.

This study tested two surgical techniques for fixing receding gums in 50 adults aged 18-35. Both methods used a coronally advanced flap, but one added a platelet-rich fibrin membrane and the other a chorion membrane. The goal was to see which better reduces gum recession and impr…

This study tested whether a gentler, magnified cleaning method (MINST) works better than standard deep cleaning for treating early gum recession. Fifty-four adults with shallow gum recession (3 mm or less) took part. The goal was to see if MINST could reduce recession depth and w…

This study develops and tests an artificial intelligence model that analyzes standard dental photographs to detect gum recession, classify its severity, and suggest treatment options. Researchers use images from adults with visible gum recession to train the AI and compare its ac…

This study tests an artificial intelligence system that measures the width of keratinized gingiva (a type of gum tissue) from smartphone photos. Researchers will compare the AI's measurements to those made by dental experts to see how accurate the tool is. The goal is to make gum…

This study tested a procedure called Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (PAOO) in 20 adults getting braces. The goal was to see if it could prevent bone loss and gum recession on the front of the lower teeth. The procedure combines a small cut in the gum with a bon…

This trial tests whether low-level laser therapy or a hyaluronic acid gel can improve healing after free gingival graft surgery, a procedure to treat receding gums. Adults with insufficient gum tissue in the lower front teeth will receive surgery alone, surgery plus laser, or sur…

This trial investigates whether placing a retraction cord—a thin thread that pushes the gum aside—during a tooth restoration affects gum health. Adults with non-carious cervical lesions (tooth damage near the gumline not caused by decay) will receive composite restorations either…

This study tested two treatments—ozonated gel and titanium platelet-rich fibrin (T-PRF)—on 39 people to see which helps palatal wounds heal better after gum graft surgery. Participants were followed for 14 days to measure pain and wound size. The goal is to find a simple way to r…

This study tested whether placing stitches (pre-sutures) in the roof of the mouth before taking a gum graft can reduce bleeding and pain. 32 adults with gum recession took part. Researchers measured blood loss, pain, and healing after surgery. The goal was to see if this simple s…

This study tested whether adding injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) and low-level laser therapy to standard gum graft surgery could reduce the amount the graft shrinks during healing. Gum grafts are used to cover exposed tooth roots, but they often shrink over time. The stud…

This study tested whether a toothpaste and mouthwash made with biomimetic hydroxyapatite could reduce tooth sensitivity in 100 adults with receding gums. Participants had one 30-second application of either the toothpaste or mouthwash in a clinic. Sensitivity was measured before …

This study looked at how gum tissue heals when taken from two different areas of the palate (roof of the mouth) to treat receding gums. Forty healthy adults aged 20-40 had a gum graft taken either from the front or back of the palate. Using 3D scans, researchers measured volume c…
