Testing i-PRF for better root canal retreatment healing
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a special platelet-rich concentrate (i-PRF) during a root canal retreatment can help heal infection at the tip of the root better than standard retreatment alone. It is for adults with a previously treated upper front tooth that now shows signs of infection on X-ray.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- The tooth needing treatment is a single-rooted upper front tooth (like a front incisor) and has fully formed roots.
- There is a confirmed infection or inflammation at the root tip seen on an X-ray.
- The tooth has already had a root canal treatment before but now needs to have that treatment redone (retreatment).
- The tooth has not had a root canal retreatment before.
- You are in good general health and agree to join the study.

This trial compares two medications placed inside the tooth during a repeat root canal to treat infection at the root tip. It aims to find which one better fights bacteria and helps the tooth heal.
This study tests whether adding a concentrated blood clot (L-PRF) to standard root-end surgery helps tooth-related infections heal faster and better. You may be a good fit if you have a persistent infection at the tip of a tooth root and need this type of surgery.
This trial tests a surgical procedure to treat front or premolar teeth where a previous root canal has failed and there is an infection at the root tip. The surgery aims to remove the infection and save the tooth.
This study tests two different ways of cleaning and treating a tooth that had a root canal treatment before. Researchers want to see which method causes less pain after the procedure.
This trial tests whether an injectable healing material called platelet-rich fibrin can help cover exposed tooth root in front teeth with gum recession. If it works, it may reduce tooth sensitivity and improve appearance for people with suitable, healthy teeth and gums.
This trial tests a treatment for deep gum disease pockets using a combination of your own blood components (injectable platelet-rich fibrin) and a bone graft material. It aims to help regenerate bone lost to periodontitis.
