ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different surgical techniques for treating gum recession, which is when the gums pull back from the teeth, exposing the roots. The two methods being compared are the tunneling technique and the coronal advancement flap technique. Researchers want to see which method works better in terms of improving gum coverage, the appearance of the gums, and how patients feel about the results. They will also keep track of any discomfort or complications that may arise from each technique.

To participate in this study, you need to be a non-smoker, in good overall health, and have specific types of gum recession without any active gum disease. You should also have at least four affected areas in your upper jaw where the gums have receded. If you join the study, you can expect to receive one of the two treatments and will be monitored afterward to assess your recovery and results. This research aims to help dental professionals choose the best treatment for patients with gum recession.
