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 different ways to improve gum tissue at the same time as placing a dental implant. It may help people who need more gum tissue, especially if they have thin gums.
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 trial tests if a newer, less invasive technique using microneedling and a special platelet-rich substance (i-PRF) works as well as a standard gum graft to thicken thin gums around dental implants in the front of the mouth.
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.
