Summary
This study tests whether injecting platelet-rich fibrin (a substance made from the patient's own blood) into the gums around dental implants can make the gums thicker and healthier. It includes 80 adults with thin gums around their implants. The injection is given three times over three months, and the researchers will measure gum thickness and appearance after one year.
