Microneedling with or without platelet-rich plasma for gum dark spots
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a treatment called microneedling (tiny needles that stimulate the skin) combined with a special healing liquid from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) works better than microneedling alone for removing dark spots on the gums.
