Gum width key to root coverage success, new study finds
NCT ID NCT07576439
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how the width of healthy gum tissue affects the success of covering exposed tooth roots in 30 adults with gum recession. Participants will receive a minimally invasive gum graft surgery. The goal is to see if wider gum tissue leads to better root coverage and long-term stability.
