NCT ID NCT07521566
First seen May 09, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tested two methods for preparing gum grafts to treat receding gums: using a scalpel outside the mouth or radiofrequency inside the mouth. 48 patients received grafts along with a surgical flap procedure. Researchers checked how well the gums healed, how much root was covered, and how comfortable patients were. The goal is to find a simpler, more reliable technique that improves results and patient experience.
