First seen Apr 20, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study tests a connective tissue graft (CTG) to thicken and reshape the gum in areas where a tooth is missing. Twenty adults with a single missing front tooth will get the graft, and researchers will compare results between those who already have a bridge and those who don't. The goal is to see if the graft improves gum thickness, shape, and appearance over 6 months.
