First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

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 graft site and the donor site over six months. The goal was to see if the donor location affects healing patterns.
