New gum graft method aims to fix receding gums in lower front teeth
NCT ID NCT05851248
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a surgical technique called free mucogingival graft (FMG) to cover exposed tooth roots and improve gum conditions in the lower front teeth. Researchers will enroll 24 healthy adults with gum recession and unfavorable gum tissue. The goal is to see if this approach works better than standard methods for covering roots and correcting gum problems.
