Using free mucogingival grafts to treat gum recession in lower incisors

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of free mucogingival grafts (FMG) in periodontal plastic surgery specifically for root coverage in cases of gingival recession associated with lower incisors. The study focuses on patients with mucogingival conditions that may hinder the success of traditional root coverage techniques. Participants will receive either a buccal muco-gingival tissue graft or a palatal connective tissue graft as part of the intervention. The goal is to assess the outcomes of this innovative approach in improving gum health and aesthetics.
