Study Summary

This trial studies two procedures to treat receding gums on the lower front teeth. It compares how well each procedure covers roots & increases gum tissue.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with specific types of gum recession on their lower front teeth, who haven't had prior surgery there. They must be generally healthy, not have diabetes that's out of control, aren't pregnant or breastfeeding, and don't use tobacco heavily or have diseases affecting connective tissue.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two surgical methods to cover a receded gum area around the lower front tooth: one uses Coronally Advanced Flap with Connective Tissue Graft (control), and the other uses Gingival Pedicle Split Thickness flap with CTG (test).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from these procedures may include discomfort at the site of surgery, swelling, bleeding during healing process, infection risk and in rare cases loss of the grafted tissue.
