Blood vs. tissue: which gum fix works best?
NCT ID NCT05633511
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two treatments for receding gums. One uses a small piece of tissue from the roof of the mouth (the current standard). The other uses a membrane made from the patient's own blood. The goal is to see which method works better and lasts longer. The study needs 50 adults with gum recession.
