New gum grafting method studied in 16 patients – no treatment given
NCT ID NCT07386301
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked back at 16 healthy adults who received a special gum and bone grafting technique called the Open Membrane Technique. The goal was to see how much new bone and gum tissue formed, not to test a treatment. Participants had a membrane placed over a bone graft and left partly open to heal. Researchers measured bone thickness and gum width after healing.
