Platelet gel for healing after tooth removal in older adults
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a back tooth (molar or premolar) removed at the UNMC College of Dentistry.

- You are not regularly taking anti-inflammatory drugs, methotrexate, or bone-strengthening medication.
- You do not smoke, vape, or use tobacco in any form.

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 whether placing a special clot made from your own blood (called Platelet Rich Fibrin) into the socket after a tooth extraction helps the bone heal better for a future dental implant.
This study tests two ways of preparing platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a treatment made from your own blood that may help gum tissue heal. The goal is to see if the enhanced version works better on gum cells than the standard one.
This study looks at how age affects healing after a tooth is removed and replaced with a bone graft using Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), a natural substance from your own blood that helps healing. It may help you if you need a molar removed and plan to get an implant later.
This trial studies an “autologous platelet concentrate” (a gel made from your own blood) to help heal deep bone defects caused by periodontitis. It’s meant for adults with specific measurements in one or more gum pockets and bone areas after recent non-surgical gum treatment.
This trial tests whether applying a special gel made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF) to the tooth sockets after extraction can help the gums heal better before radiation therapy starts. It's for people with head and neck cancer who need to have teeth removed on both sides of the jaw.
