First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether applying injectable platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF) to the wound after gum surgery (gingivectomy or gingivoplasty) can improve healing. Twenty adults with chronic inflammatory gum overgrowth will be split into two groups: one gets standard surgery alone, the other gets surgery plus I-PRF. Researchers will measure healing and patient satisfaction over 21 days.

Active substance

injectable platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple way to improve gum healing after dental surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a very small early-stage trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply widely. The treatment is experimental and may not speed healing as hoped.
