Blood clot boost: could your own blood save your jawbone?
NCT ID NCT07530471
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special blood product made from a patient's own blood can help preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. After extraction, the bone and gums often shrink, which can complicate future dental implants. The treatment uses two forms of platelet-rich fibrin (T-PRF and i-PRF) placed into the extraction socket to support healing. Forty healthy adults who need a single tooth pulled will be followed for 6 months to see if this approach reduces bone loss.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- autologous platelet-rich fibrin (T-PRF and i-PRF)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a simple, natural way to preserve jawbone after tooth extraction, making future dental implants easier and more successful.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 people, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include pain, bleeding, and infection, though these are manageable.
