Surgery for implant gum infection with platelet-rich fibrin
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least one dental implant with a deep pocket (5mm or more) around it that bleeds or oozes when touched.
- X-rays show the bone around the implant has a crater-like loss of at least 3mm.
- Your mouth is generally clean, with less than 20% of plaque buildup.
- You are willing and able to sign a consent form to participate.
- You are not a smoker who smokes more than 5 cigarettes a day.
- You do not have diabetes, a long-term inflammatory disease, or take strong anti-inflammatory drugs like prednisone.

This study tests a new injectable treatment using your own blood cells to help repair damaged gum tissue and bone around teeth affected by periodontal disease (gum disease). The goal is to see if this minimally invasive approach can regenerate healthy gum and bone without major surgery.
This trial compares two ways to place dental implants in the upper jaw where there is not enough bone: one uses a special clotting substance (PRF) and the other does not. The goal is to see which method works better.
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.
This trial tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (injectable platelet-rich fibrin) can help improve thin or narrow gum tissue around dental implants. It may be an option if you have less than 2 mm of gum width or thickness around your implant.
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 whether adding a special injection made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) to standard deep-cleaning gum treatment helps improve gum health more than the cleaning alone. It may help reduce gum pocket depths and improve healing.
