Can hyaluronic acid help grow back receding gums?
NCT ID NCT07520539
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding cross-linked hyaluronic acid through microneedling after gum surgery can improve gum thickness and cover exposed tooth roots better than microneedling alone. It involves 22 adults with a single gum recession and thin gums. Participants will receive gum surgery followed by microneedling with or without hyaluronic acid, and results will be checked at 6 months.
