Can natural growth factors make dental implants heal faster and stronger?
NCT ID NCT07675772
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding concentrated growth factor (CGF) or advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) to short dental implant surgery improves wound healing and implant stability. The trial involves 72 adults aged 18-45 with missing premolar or molar teeth and adequate bone. Participants receive delayed short dental implants with immediate loading, with or without these growth factors, and are monitored for gum health, bone changes, and implant stability.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Concentrated growth factor (CGF) and advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could improve dental implant healing and stability, reducing complications and improving outcomes for patients with limited bone height.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial. The benefits of CGF and A-PRF for dental implants are not yet proven, and results may not apply to all patients or implant types.

Inclusion Criteria: \- • Patient aged 18 - 45 years old. • Patients maintaining excellent oral hygiene standards. • Systemically healthy patient. • Single or multiple missing teeth in premolar and molar region. • Patients should have adequate bone width volume (\>4 mm) and bone density with sufficient mesiodistal and interocclusal space.
