Does platelet-rich fibrin improve healing after wisdom tooth removal?
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether using platelet-rich fibrin (a substance made from your own blood that helps healing) put into the socket after wisdom tooth removal can reduce pain, improve healing, and shrink the deep pocket behind the next tooth. It may help protect that tooth from future gum problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need an impacted wisdom tooth (stuck under the gum) that is angled toward or lying flat against the tooth in front.
- The tooth next to it (second molar) must have a deep pocket (more than 4 mm) and some loss of attachment (bone loss).
- You must be between 18 and 40 years old. Men and women can both take part.
- You must give your written consent to join.
- You must not have serious health problems like uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, bleeding disorders, or a weak immune system.
- You must not be allergic to amoxicillin, and your second molars must be healthy (not decayed or needing removal).

This study compares two treatments to reduce pain and swelling after removing an impacted wisdom tooth: one uses a special blood clot (platelet-rich fibrin) placed in the socket, and the other uses steroid medication. The goal is to find which works better for healing and comfort.
This trial tests whether placing a collagen membrane after wisdom tooth removal helps the nearby second molar heal better. If you have impacted lower wisdom teeth on both sides, this study may compare healing with and without the membrane.
This study tests a special bone-filling material that may help the jawbone heal better after wisdom tooth removal. It compares healing on both sides of the mouth in people who need both lower wisdom teeth taken out.
This study looks at how the gum and bone heal behind the second molar after removing a lower wisdom tooth. It may help reduce problems like gum pockets or bone loss in that area.
This study tests whether a gel with chlorhexidine and hyaluronic acid helps wounds heal better after wisdom tooth removal. If you're getting a partially impacted lower wisdom tooth out, this might help you heal faster and with less discomfort.
This trial tests a regenerative gel placed in the socket after wisdom tooth removal to improve healing. It may reduce pain, swelling, and speed up recovery.
