Jaw Surgery's hidden impact on gums revealed in new study
NCT ID NCT07349056
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study watches 100 adults who are having jaw surgery to fix their bite. Researchers will check gum thickness, gum health, and bone around the teeth before surgery and at 1, 3, and 6 months after. The goal is to see how these tissues change over time. No treatment is given—this is just observation.
