Gum graft showdown: which donor site heals receding gums best?

NCT ID NCT06404762

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested two different places to take gum tissue for grafting—the back of the mouth (tuberosity) or the roof of the mouth (palate)—to fix receding gums on a single tooth. Thirty healthy adults with gum recession received one of the two grafts along with a gum-lifting procedure. Researchers measured how much the gums grew back and how much pain patients felt over a year.
