Platelet-rich fibrin gel to speed up tooth movement with braces
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special gel made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) can speed up tooth movement after a premolar extraction. You would be wearing braces, and one side of your mouth gets the gel while the other side is the control, so we can see if it works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are starting orthodontic treatment with braces.
- Your upper first premolar (the tooth just behind the canine) needs to be removed to make space.
- You have mild to moderate crowding in your upper teeth.
- You have good oral hygiene and healthy gums (no deep pockets or bone loss).
- You have not had orthodontic treatment before.
- You are not a smoker, not pregnant, and do not have conditions like diabetes, bone disorders, or blood problems.

This study tests whether a special injection made from your own blood (called injectable platelet-rich fibrin) can help move your teeth faster during braces treatment. It involves removing two upper premolars and then receiving the injection to see if it speeds up straightening.
This study compares two methods to speed up moving your canine teeth into their correct position after removing the premolars: a small surgical procedure (piezocision) or a natural blood concentrate treatment (injectable platelet-rich fibrin). The goal is to see which method works better for faster, safer tooth movement.
This study tests whether using your own blood concentrate (PRP) and a special red light treatment can speed up tooth movement with clear aligners. If you're a young adult starting clear aligner therapy, this might reduce your treatment time.
This study tests if a gel made from your own blood can help your gums heal faster after a back tooth is removed. It is for patients getting dental care at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
This study tests three different treatments (MOP, prostaglandin E1, and calcitriol) to see if they can make teeth move faster during orthodontic treatment. If you're getting braces for moderate crowding, this could reduce your treatment time.
This study tests whether using platelet-rich fibrin (a concentrate from your own blood) with a bone graft helps heal gum disease around a lower back tooth. It may improve the support for the tooth and reduce the need for more invasive treatment.
