NCT ID NCT06567548

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two blood-derived gels (Alb-PRF and PRF) against a standard gelatin sponge for reducing pain and improving healing after a gum graft. 39 adults needing a gum graft will be randomly assigned to one of three treatments applied to the wound. Pain, healing, and color match will be tracked for 28 days.
