Blood clot boost: could your own blood save your jawbone?
NCT ID NCT07530471
First seen Apr 20, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 12 times
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.
