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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether using a special blood-derived gel (platelet-rich fibrin) inside the root canal can help heal infected mature teeth and avoid more serious procedures. It may be a good option for people with a single-rooted tooth that has a dead nerve and possibly an infection.
This study tests two newer ways to treat a painful, infected tooth (pulpitis) in lower back molars. They compare a special gel (chitosan hydrogel) against a natural blood-clot concentrate (platelet-rich fibrin) to see which helps the tooth heal better and avoids more invasive treatments.
This trial tests a new nanotechnology-based treatment to help regrow the inside of an immature dead tooth, potentially saving it. It is for upper front teeth that are not fully developed and can be repaired.
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 study looks at whether measuring the pH and oxygen level in the blood inside a tooth can help predict how well a tooth-saving procedure (vital pulp therapy) will work. If you have a deep cavity in a back tooth and are eligible, this could help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
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.
