New stitch showdown: which suture best hides receding gums?
NCT ID NCT07602829
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small pilot study tests two different stitching techniques during gum surgery to cover exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession. Seven healthy adults with multiple areas of gum recession will receive both techniques in different parts of their mouth. The goal is to see which method leads to better root coverage and a more natural-looking gum appearance after three months.
