Effect of platelet rich fibrin on healing after wisdom tooth removal
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if a natural blood-clotting treatment (platelet rich fibrin) helps reduce gum pocket depth and sensitivity around the tooth next to your impacted wisdom tooth after surgery. It may offer a better healing option for people with gum issues near that area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a fully impacted wisdom tooth (bottom third molar) that is tilted toward or horizontally against the tooth in front.
- The wisdom tooth has a moderate depth and is partially covered by gum or bone (Pell & Gregory Class 2, Level B).
- You have at least one gum pocket deeper than 4mm and some loss of gum attachment (more than 1mm) on the back side of the second molar.
- You are between 18 and 40 years old, and your second molars are fully through the gum.
- You do not have serious health problems like uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, bleeding disorders, or a weakened immune system.
- You are not allergic to amoxicillin, and your gums have not been treated for other conditions before this trial.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 if removing a wisdom tooth helps the gum and bone behind the nearby second molar heal better. It may be relevant if you need a lower wisdom tooth taken out.
This trial tests a special bone filler (beta-tricalcium phosphate) placed in the socket after impacted lower wisdom teeth are removed. The goal is to see if it helps the bone heal better than not using it.
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.
This trial tests if a gel containing chlorhexidine (an antiseptic) and hyaluronic acid (a moisture-retaining substance) helps your gums heal better after having a lower wisdom tooth removed. It's for people whose wisdom tooth is only partly through the gum, so the wound can't be fully stitched closed.
