NCT ID NCT05395923
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether placing stitches (pre-sutures) in the roof of the mouth before taking a gum graft can reduce bleeding and pain. 32 adults with gum recession took part. Researchers measured blood loss, pain, and healing after surgery. The goal was to see if this simple step improves patient comfort and recovery.
