GINGIVAL RECESSION

This completed study tested a surgical technique called the combined bilaminar tunnel method for treating gum recession in patients with challenging tooth anatomy. Twelve participants received the procedure and were followed for six months. The goal was to see how much of the exp…

This study tested a new surgical technique called the NORD flap for treating receding gums, comparing it to the standard method that uses a tissue graft from the roof of the mouth. The goal was to see if the new technique could cover exposed tooth roots just as well, with less pa…

This study tested a surgical technique for treating multiple receding gums. Twenty-one adults with gum recession on both sides of the mouth received a modified tunnel procedure with a connective tissue graft. The researchers compared two ways of placing the graft to see which gav…

This study tested two ways to treat receding gums: a new material made from the patient's own blood (T-PRF) and a standard connective tissue graft. Twenty healthy adults with gum recession on both sides of the mouth received both treatments, one on each side. The researchers meas…

This study tested a porcine collagen matrix (Mucoderm) against the standard connective tissue graft for covering exposed tooth roots due to gum recession. Eighteen adults with gum recession on both sides of the mouth received one treatment on each side. The goal was to see if the…

This study tested a new material called Mucoderm, made from donated animal tissue, to treat receding gums. It compared it to the standard treatment, which uses a small piece of tissue from the patient's own palate. The goal was to see if Mucoderm could cover exposed tooth roots j…

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 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 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 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 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 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…

This study looked at stem cells taken from two different areas of the gums (the front and back of the palate) to see which ones are better at forming bone and other dental tissues. Researchers collected gum tissue from 7 people and grew the cells in the lab to test their ability …

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