Gel vs blood-based treatment for gum healing around dental implants
Treatments studied
This study compares two ways to improve gum thickness and health around dental implants: one using a gel (hyaluronic acid) and one using a blood-based treatment (I-PRF) that helps the body heal. Both are applied with a special tool to help the gums grow thicker and stronger.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have dental implants in the upper front area of your mouth that were placed at least a few months ago.
- Your gums around the implant are thin (less than or equal to 1 mm thick).
- Your gums are otherwise healthy, and you can take care of your oral hygiene.
- You do not have significant bone loss around the implant.
- You do not have gum disease (like peri-implantitis or periodontitis).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are not taking medicines that affect your gums.

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 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 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.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for an infection around dental implants called peri-implantitis. One treatment uses a gel made from enamel proteins, the other uses a gel made from hyaluronic acid (a natural substance in the body). The goal is to see which gel works better to reduce inflammation and help the gums heal, without needing surgery.
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 tests whether adding platelet-rich fibrin (a substance made from your blood that helps healing) and hyaluronic acid (a natural joint and tissue lubricant) to dental implants improves healing. If you need a dental implant in your lower back teeth and are generally healthy, this might help you heal faster and more comfortably.
