Using your own blood clot to help jaw surgery heal
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special dressing made from your own blood (called L-PRF) can help your jaw heal better after surgery for medication-related bone damage. It's for people who need surgery for this condition and aims to improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a severe jawbone problem (like advanced osteonecrosis) that surgery can help and that needs general anesthesia.
- You are covered by a social security plan (health insurance).
- You are able to give written consent to take part.
- You do not have cancer in the jaw, a history of radiation to the head/neck, or more than one lesion.
- Your life expectancy is more than 6 months.

This study compares two surgical techniques (one using a special ultrasonic tool, the other using conventional instruments) for treating early stages of a jaw bone condition called MRONJ, which can be caused by certain medications. The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective, so participants are randomly assigned to one of the two methods.
This study tests whether using a concentrate of your own platelets (cells that help blood clot and heal) in the tooth socket after removal improves healing and reduces the risk of a jaw bone condition called MRONJ. It may be an option if you are at higher risk for MRONJ due to certain medications.
This study tests a special blood-derived gel called leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) to help prevent jawbone damage after tooth extraction in people who have had head or neck radiation or take bone-strengthening medications. L-PRF is made from a small amount of your blood and placed in the extraction socket to promote healing.
This trial tests whether a special gel made of polynucleotides and hyaluronic acid (molecules that help tissue repair) can improve healing after jaw surgery for early-stage medication-related osteonecrosis. The gel is applied during surgery to support the bone and gum healing.
This study tests whether a special blood clot placed in the tooth socket after a dental extraction can help prevent a jaw bone problem called osteoradionecrosis, which can happen in people who had radiation for head and neck cancer. If you need a tooth pulled in an area that was previously radiated, this treatment might reduce the risk of bone damage and help you heal better.
This trial tests whether a natural blood concentrate (PRF) helps jawbone heal better after removing a dental cyst. It may improve recovery and reduce the need for additional bone grafting.
