Could a simple gel speed up gum graft recovery?
NCT ID NCT07708051
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a gel made from polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid can help gum tissue heal better after a graft is taken from the roof of the mouth. Fifteen adults with gum recession will have grafts taken from both sides of their palate in two separate surgeries, nine weeks apart. One side gets the gel; the other does not. Researchers will compare tissue samples under a microscope to see if the gel improves healing and tissue quality.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a polynucleotide and hyaluronic acid gel (Regenfast) applied topically to the palate after graft harvesting
- What this could lead to
- If the gel improves tissue quality, it could lead to faster or better healing after gum graft procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early study (15 people) looking at tissue samples, not clinical outcomes. The gel may not show any benefit over natural healing.
