Gum graft with or without platelet-rich fibrin for dental implant thickness
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding a special blood concentrate (platelet-rich fibrin) to a standard gum graft helps thicken the gum tissue around a dental implant. It is for people with thin gums who are missing a single tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have thin gums (less than 2 mm thick) where the implant will go.
- You are missing a single tooth in the front or premolar area, with healthy teeth on both sides.
- You are in good general health and have not had bone grafting before or during the implant procedure.
- You do not smoke, are not pregnant, and have good oral hygiene with no untreated gum disease.

This trial compares three techniques to thicken gum tissue around a single dental implant in the back of the lower jaw. It may help if you have thin gums and need a dental implant.
This trial tests two ways to support the gum around a new dental implant placed right after a tooth is pulled. It compares a special blood-clot material (L-PRF) to a connective tissue graft to see which heals better.
This study compares two ways to make the gum thicker around dental implants: a new method using microneedling with a special gel made from your own blood, versus a standard gum graft. The goal is to improve the appearance and health of the gum tissue.
This trial tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (injectable platelet-rich fibrin) can help improve thin or narrow gum tissue around dental implants. It may be an option if you have less than 2 mm of gum width or thickness around your implant.
This trial compares two techniques to improve the appearance and health of gum tissue around dental implants in your front teeth. One uses a special blood product (PRF), and the other uses a traditional gum graft. The goal is to see which gives better-looking results.
This study compares two treatments — hyaluronic acid gel and I-PRF (a special liquid made from your own blood) — both combined with microneedling, to see which one better thickens the gum around dental implants. If you have thin gums around your implant, this treatment might help improve the appearance and health of your gum tissue.
