Testing how PRF releases a bone growth medicine in the lab
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a dental “blood-derived” material (PRF) and a bone-growth medicine (rhBMP-2) to see how the medicine releases over time. It’s an in-lab (in vitro) study, but it requires you to be a patient at UAB Dental School and be planning a usual periodontal procedure that involves drawing blood.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You speak and read English well enough to understand consent forms
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are a patient of the UAB Dental School
- Your usual planned periodontal care will use PRF, which includes a blood draw (venipuncture)
- You are not a current heavy tobacco user (more than 10 cigarettes per day)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a special type of donated tissue (called acellular dermal matrix) to help rebuild bone and gum in areas where teeth are missing. Researchers want to see how well this tissue helps prepare your jaw for future dental implants.
This trial tests a treatment for deep gum disease pockets using a combination of your own blood components (injectable platelet-rich fibrin) and a bone graft material. It aims to help regenerate bone lost to periodontitis.
This trial studies an “autologous platelet concentrate” (a gel made from your own blood) to help heal deep bone defects caused by periodontitis. It’s meant for adults with specific measurements in one or more gum pockets and bone areas after recent non-surgical gum treatment.
This trial tests if a special blood concentrate (L-PRF) placed around dental implants can help them heal better and keep bone levels stable. It may be an option if you need one or more dental implants and have enough natural bone without needing a graft.
This trial tests a gum surgery technique that preserves more of your gum tissue, with or without a special protein-rich material made from your own blood (L-PRF), to repair bone loss from gum disease.
This study tests a new treatment for severe gum disease. It combines a natural blood product (platelet-rich fibrin) with a special albumin gel to help repair bone defects around teeth. The goal is to see if this mixture helps the bone grow back better than standard treatment.
