NCT ID NCT07167901
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how free gingival graft surgery—a procedure to add gum tissue—affects patient satisfaction and oral quality of life. 49 adults with thin gums had the surgery and filled out surveys about pain, comfort, and satisfaction. The goal was to see how the surgery impacts daily life and whether results differ between restored and non-restored teeth.
