Blood clot treatment for dead permanent teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new way to save a dead tooth by using a special blood clot (platelet-rich fibrin) to help the tooth heal itself. It is for adults who have a permanent tooth that is dead and infected at the root tip, but still has a good chance of being saved.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a dead tooth (nerve is dead) that also has an infection at the tip of the root, seen on an X-ray.
- The tooth is a permanent tooth that has fully formed roots (mature).
- The tooth is strong enough that it doesn't need a post and core (a special filling inside the root).
- You are not allergic to any of the medications or materials used in the procedure.
- You have no serious medical conditions (like uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, or a weak immune system).
- You do not have advanced gum disease (periodontitis) or deep gum pockets around the tooth.

This study tests whether using a special blood clot (platelet-rich fibrin) inside the root canal can help heal a dead tooth with or without an infection. It may be an option for adults with a mature single-rooted tooth that hasn't been treated before.
This trial tests whether a new nanotechnology-based treatment can help regrow blood supply inside a dead front tooth that hasn't fully formed. It may help save the tooth and avoid the need for a post or crown.
This trial tests a procedure that removes the inflamed pulp from a permanent tooth to save it, instead of pulling the tooth. It is for people with severe tooth decay causing pain and a sign of damage around the tooth root.
This trial tests a regenerative treatment for immature permanent teeth (front teeth with developing roots) in children and teens. The goal is to help the tooth's pulp heal and allow the root to continue growing naturally.
This trial tests two materials used to cap the nerve of a deep cavity in a molar tooth: one made from your own blood (platelet rich fibrin) and a standard material (mineral trioxide aggregate). The goal is to see which one helps the tooth heal better over a year.
This trial tests two different materials to treat the inflamed pulp in your back teeth. It compares a special type of blood concentrate (I-PRF) with a mix of nano MTA and blood concentrate to see which is better at saving the tooth and relieving pain.
