Gum graft showdown: own tissue vs. collagen patch – which works better?
NCT ID NCT03675334
First seen Apr 21, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested two methods to cover exposed tooth roots caused by receding gums. One method uses a small piece of the patient's own gum tissue (connective tissue graft), while the other uses a special collagen patch (Mucoderm). Both were combined with a surgical flap procedure. The goal was to see if the collagen patch works as well as the standard tissue graft, without needing a second surgical site. The study involved 18 adults with at least one pair of similar gum recessions.
