Platelet-rich fibrin for nerve healing after jaw fracture
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a special gel made from your own blood (called platelet-rich fibrin) that is placed during surgery to help the nerve in your lower jaw recover faster. It aims to see if this can improve numbness and tingling in your lip and chin after a jaw fracture.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 15 to 40 years old (any gender).

This trial tests whether a special dressing made from your own blood (called L-PRF) can help your jaw heal better after surgery for medication-related bone damage. It's for people who need surgery for this condition and aims to improve recovery.
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 looks at how well platelet-rich plasma (a substance made from your blood) helps recovery after jaw joint surgery. It may help reduce pain and improve healing.
This study tests a new surgical approach to fix jaw fractures while protecting the facial nerve, which controls facial movement. It aims to reduce nerve damage during surgery.
This trial tests whether vitamin B supplements can help restore feeling in the lower jaw and lip after nerve damage. If you have numbness or tingling in that area, taking vitamin B might speed up your recovery.
This study tests a special blood-derived gel called leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) to help prevent jawbone damage after tooth extraction in people who have had head or neck radiation or take bone-strengthening medications. L-PRF is made from a small amount of your blood and placed in the extraction socket to promote healing.
