Platelet-rich fibrin for jawbone widening procedure
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a special gum-tissue dressing made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) to help heal your jawbone after it is widened. It may be an option if you need a dental implant but your lower jawbone is too narrow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a narrow lower jawbone (3–6 mm wide at the top) but enough height (at least 10 mm) for the procedure.
- You have good oral hygiene and are committed to follow-up visits.
- You do not have uncontrolled health problems like diabetes or bleeding disorders.
- You are not a heavy smoker or heavy drinker.
- You are not taking medications that slow bone healing, such as bisphosphonates.

This trial tests two techniques for widening a narrow jawbone so dental implants can be placed, all in one surgery. It is for people who have lost at least one tooth and have a bone width between 3 and 5 mm.
This trial tests two ways of splitting a narrow upper jawbone to make room for dental implants. It may help you if your jawbone is too narrow for implants but tall enough.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to build up the bone in the back of your upper jaw so you can get a dental implant. It uses a special bone graft material and your own blood components to help the bone grow.
This study tests a new treatment for severe gum disease. It combines a natural blood product (platelet-rich fibrin) with a special albumin gel to help repair bone defects around teeth. The goal is to see if this mixture helps the bone grow back better than standard treatment.
This study tests a new way to treat a specific type of gum disease that causes bone loss around the roots of back teeth. It uses your body's own healing factors (from a blood sample) to help the bone and gum reattach, without surgery.
This trial tests a new way to widen a narrow jawbone so a dental implant can be placed. It compares using a bone graft material alone versus mixing it with a special protein (RGD) to help the bone grow better.
