Better healing after root-end surgery using a special blood clot
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a concentrated blood clot (L-PRF) to standard root-end surgery helps tooth-related infections heal faster and better. You may be a good fit if you have a persistent infection at the tip of a tooth root and need this type of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a tooth with an ongoing infection at the root tip that has not healed with other treatments
- You are in good overall health (no serious medical conditions that might affect surgery)
- The tooth's filling or crown is intact and not leaking
- You are not taking certain bone medications (oral or IV bisphosphonates) and do not have a suspected root fracture

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether using a special platelet-rich concentrate (i-PRF) during a root canal retreatment can help heal infection at the tip of the root better than standard retreatment alone. It is for adults with a previously treated upper front tooth that now shows signs of infection on X-ray.
This trial tests a surgical procedure to treat front or premolar teeth where a previous root canal has failed and there is an infection at the root tip. The surgery aims to remove the infection and save the tooth.
This trial tests whether using a bone graft (allograft) together with your own blood concentrate (iPRF) and a collagen membrane helps heal the bone and gum around a tooth with a long-standing infection. It might be a good option if you have a tooth that keeps getting infected despite a root canal and has a deep pocket on the cheek side.
This study tests whether adding a natural blood concentrate (platelet-rich fibrin) to standard surgery improves healing of gum infections around dental implants. It's for people with moderate to advanced implant problems who have good oral hygiene.
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 trial tests if adding platelet-rich fibrin (a natural healing concentrate from your blood) to standard deep cleaning improves treatment for advanced gum disease. It may help patients with widespread gum disease who have not had treatment in the last year.
