This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether microneedling (tiny needle pricks) done before a standard gum surgery can help cover exposed tooth roots in people with thin gums. Thirty-six adults with receding gums will either get microneedling followed by surgery, or surgery with a tissue graft from the roof of the mouth. The goal is to see if microneedling can thicken gums and improve root coverage with less discomfort.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
microneedling procedure
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a less invasive option for treating gum recession, potentially avoiding the need for a tissue graft from the palate.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 36 participants. Microneedling may not thicken gums enough to improve surgery outcomes, and results may not apply to all patients.
