GINGIVAL RECESSION

This study tests whether microneedling (tiny needle pricks) done before a standard gum surgery can help cover exposed tooth roots in people with thin gums. Thirty-six adults with receding gums will either get microneedling followed by surgery, or surgery with a tissue graft from …

This study looks at two treatments for receding gums. One uses a small piece of tissue from the roof of the mouth (the current standard). The other uses a membrane made from the patient's own blood. The goal is to see which method works better and lasts longer. The study needs 50…

This study tests a new surgical method called 3D tunneling for treating multiple receding gums, comparing it to a standard technique using a gum graft. Researchers will enroll 36 adults with gum recession to see which approach better covers exposed roots and improves gum health. …

This study tests a new way to treat multiple receding gums using a substance made from the patient's own blood (Alb-PRF) compared to the standard connective tissue graft. 26 adults with good oral hygiene will be treated and followed to see how much gum coverage is achieved. The g…

This study tests if using an air-polishing device with erythritol powder to clean tooth roots before gum graft surgery works as well as the standard hand-scraping method. Twenty adults with receding gums will be treated and followed for a year. The goal is to see which approach l…

This study tests whether a new collagen matrix can work as well as a traditional gum graft for covering exposed tooth roots. Sixty adults who had braces and now have gum recession will receive either the collagen matrix or a graft taken from the roof of their mouth. The goal is t…

This study tests a surgical technique called free mucogingival graft (FMG) to cover exposed tooth roots and improve gum conditions in the lower front teeth. Researchers will enroll 24 healthy adults with gum recession and unfavorable gum tissue. The goal is to see if this approac…

This study compares two surgical techniques (MCAT and VISTA) for treating receding gums in 44 healthy adults. Both methods use a tissue graft to cover exposed roots. Researchers will measure gum thickness changes over 12 months using 3D scans to see which technique works better.

This study compares two surgical techniques—tunneled coronally advanced flap (TCAF) and modified tunnel technique (MTUN)—both using a small piece of tissue from the palate to cover a single receding gum in the lower jaw. Twenty-four adults will be randomly assigned to one procedu…

This study tests whether computer analysis of 3D dental scans can accurately detect gum disease, gingivitis, and cavities, compared to traditional manual exams. About 30 adults with at least one gum recession will participate. If successful, this approach could make dental diagno…

This trial compares using tiny titanium tacks versus traditional stitches to hold a gum graft in place after surgery. The goal is to see if the tacks cause less pain and make recovery easier. Adults needing a gum graft around natural teeth will be randomly assigned to one of the …

This study tests three different methods to protect the roof of the mouth after a gum graft. Fifty-six adults will rate their pain, swelling, and bleeding using a simple scale. The goal is to find which protection technique makes healing most comfortable.

This study tests whether using 3D imaging (CBCT) to plan clear aligner treatment can lower the chance of gum recession. Forty adults who want to widen their dental arches will be randomly assigned to either 3D-guided or standard 2D planning. Researchers will track gum health, bon…

This study tests a gel called Nano Bio Fusion (NBF) to see if it helps heal wounds on the roof of the mouth after gum graft surgery. About 36 adults will apply either the NBF gel or a placebo gel four times a day for four weeks. Researchers will measure wound size, pain, and infl…

This study looks at how receding gums affect people's quality of life, like eating, smiling, and feeling confident. Researchers will screen 346 adults aged 18-45 to find out how common gum recession is and what causes it. No treatments are tested—just observation and questionnair…

This study watches how gum grafts heal in 15 people after routine surgery for receding gums. Researchers use painless scans and blood flow tests to track swelling and new blood vessel growth. Saliva samples are also checked for healing markers. The goal is to learn what normal he…

This study is recruiting 50 adults to understand what factors make gum recession more likely after orthodontic treatment. Researchers will measure gum health, bite patterns, and other dental features in people with and without a history of braces. The goal is to create a simple g…
