Gum surgery success under the microscope: new study checks Long-Term results
NCT ID NCT04971174
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked back at 126 patients who had gum regeneration surgery for severe gum disease. Researchers checked dental records and did a follow-up exam to see if the surgery helped close deep gum pockets and improve gum health. The goal was to understand how well these procedures work over time, not to test a new treatment.
