Gum tissue breakthrough: blood clot membrane may speed up dental implant recovery

NCT ID NCT07387913

First seen Feb 04, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tests whether a special membrane made from a patient's own blood (L-PRF) helps bone heal better after a tooth is pulled, before placing a dental implant. Forty adults needing a single tooth extraction were randomly assigned to one of four socket treatments: natural healing, L-PRF membrane alone, bone graft with collagen, or bone graft with L-PRF. Researchers measured bone changes with 3D X-rays and examined bone samples to see which method led to faster and stronger bone growth.
