Gum graft showdown: synthetic vs. natural tissue in recession repair
NCT ID NCT04800250
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a synthetic gum graft (Mucogain matrix) could be a good alternative to the standard connective tissue graft for treating receding gums. The goal was to see if the synthetic option covers the exposed tooth root just as well, but with less pain and fewer complications. The study planned to include 8 non-smoking adults with specific types of gum recession, but it was terminated early.
