Sticky bone may boost gum graft success for receding gums
NCT ID NCT06871475
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether adding a sticky bone graft to a standard gum flap procedure helps cover exposed tooth roots better than the flap alone. It includes 30 adults with mild-to-moderate gum recession. The study measures how much the gum covers the root and how thick the gum tissue becomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
sticky bone (a biological graft material)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a more effective way to cover exposed tooth roots and improve gum thickness.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply widely. The sticky bone procedure may not provide extra benefit over standard care.
