Study Summary
This trial showed that using patient's own blood to prepare a membrane for gum recession treatment is a viable alternative to traditional surgery.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who need treatment for gum recession at two or more sites but don't want a second surgical site or donor tissue. Smokers, pregnant individuals, those not consenting to recommended therapy, and anyone unable to follow up are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the use of patients' own blood prepared as a membrane versus traditional grafting from the roof of the mouth for treating gum recession. It's a split-mouth design, meaning each patient receives both treatments in different areas.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the site where blood is drawn and where it's applied as a membrane, swelling, infection risk at both treated sites, and possible failure of grafting leading to continued exposure of tooth roots.
