Can a blood clot or gum graft erase black triangles between teeth?
NCT ID NCT07746622
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests two ways to rebuild the small triangle of gum tissue between teeth, which can shrink and leave dark gaps. One method uses a graft of the patient's own gum tissue, while the other uses a special blood-derived clot. The study will enroll 34 adults with gum recession in the front teeth and measure how well each technique fills the gap over six months.

- Active substance
- De-epithelialized gingival graft (DGG) or Titanium-Prepared Platelet-Rich Fibrin (T-PRF) used in a tunnel technique procedure
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify a better method for rebuilding lost gum tissue, potentially improving smile aesthetics and oral health.
