GINGIVAL RECESSION

This study tested a new, less invasive surgery called VISTA that uses donated tissue (fascia lata allograft) to treat receding gums. Twenty-four adults with at least 2 mm of gum recession took part. The approach aims to cover exposed roots and improve gum health, but ongoing care…

This study tested two ways to fix receding gums in 50 adults aged 18-35. One group got a gum flap surgery with a platelet-rich fibrin membrane, the other with a chorion membrane. The goal was to see which better covers exposed tooth roots and improves gum health over 6 months.

This study tested whether a very gentle, non-surgical cleaning method (MINST) works better than standard deep cleaning for early gum recession. 54 adults with shallow gum recession (3 mm or less) took part. The goal was to see which method helps gums grow back more effectively, m…

This study tested whether adding a hyaluronic acid gel to standard gum surgery helps people with receding gums. Twenty adults with type 1 gum recession on both sides of the mouth took part. Researchers measured gum coverage, healing, and patient comfort over six months. The goal …

This study compared two ways to treat receding gums: a standard connective tissue graft taken from the patient's own palate, and a porcine collagen matrix (Mucoderm) that doesn't require a second surgical site. 18 adults with gum recession were treated and followed for 6 months. …

This study compared two surgical methods to treat receding gums: the pinhole technique and the tunnel technique. Twenty-one adults with mild to moderate gum recession received both procedures on different teeth. Researchers used digital scans before and six months after surgery t…

This study looked at whether placing stitches in the roof of the mouth before taking a gum graft can reduce bleeding and improve patient comfort. 32 adults with receding gums took part. Researchers measured blood loss, pain, and healing after surgery. The goal is to make this com…

This study tested whether using a special medical glue (cyanoacrylate) works better than traditional stitches to hold a gum graft in place. Twenty-four adults with thin or receding gums took part. Researchers measured how well the graft healed, how much discomfort patients felt, …

This study tested a new material (mucoderm) against the standard gum graft (connective tissue graft) for treating receding gums. 12 adults with gum recession on both sides of the mouth received one treatment on each side. The goal was to see if the new material covers the exposed…

This study looked at stem cells taken from two different parts of the roof of the mouth (front vs. back) to see which ones are better at growing bone and other dental tissues. Only 7 people took part, and the goal was to learn how these cells work, not to treat any disease. The f…

This study looked at how gum graft surgery heals when the graft tissue is taken from two different areas of the roof of the mouth. Forty healthy adults with receding gums on their lower front teeth took part. Researchers used 3D scans to measure changes in gum volume at both the …

This study looked at 36 adults who needed gum graft surgery to see how their anxiety before the procedure affected their quality of life during the first month after surgery. Researchers measured anxiety levels and asked patients about their oral health daily for a week and again…
