Tooth rebuild before gum graft: does it help cover exposed roots?
NCT ID NCT06438094
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 15 people with gum recession and worn-down teeth near the gum line. Some had the worn area rebuilt with a tooth-colored filling before standard gum surgery, while others had surgery alone. The goal was to see if rebuilding the tooth first leads to better coverage of the exposed root. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
connective tissue graft from the palate
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that rebuilding the tooth before gum surgery leads to better coverage of exposed roots.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study (15 people) that was terminated, so results may be limited. The extra step of rebuilding the tooth may not improve outcomes enough to justify the added procedure.
