Could a simple injection make thin gums thicker?

NCT ID NCT07682259

First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether injecting a mix of concentrated platelet-rich fibrin (C-PRF) and hyaluronic acid can thicken thin gums better than C-PRF alone. Twenty healthy adults with naturally thin gums will receive both treatments on different sides of their mouth. The goal is to see which approach increases gum thickness and width more over six months.

Active substance

Concentrated Platelet-Rich Fibrin (C-PRF) and Hyaluronic Acid

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a simple injection-based method to thicken thin gums, potentially reducing gum recession and improving oral health.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment may not work as well as hoped, and risks like swelling or infection are possible.
