NCT ID NCT06366022
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a surgical technique for treating multiple receding gums. Twenty-one adults with gum recession on both sides of the mouth received a modified tunnel procedure with a connective tissue graft. The researchers compared two ways of placing the graft to see which gave better root coverage after 6 months. The goal was to improve healing and reduce discomfort.
