Who can join

Adults 18 to 70, any sex, with Gingival Recession or Lack of Keratinized Gingiva (Disorder). Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.

Sponsor's own description

The primary purpose of this protocol is to isolate, investigate and compare the regenerative and differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC's) in the gingival (gum) tissue harvested from two different locations from the roof of the mouth (palate), that is from the front part(premolar)and back part(molar). MSC's are known for their capacity to form different kinds of hard and soft tissue including bone, fibers for periodontal ligaments, cementum and dentin, thus this study can help in optimizing their clinical application and transplantation approaches in tissue regeneration.
