Could a blood gel speed tooth healing in diabetes?
NCT ID NCT07287475
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a gel made from a patient's own blood platelets can help diabetic individuals heal faster after tooth removal. Twelve adults with diabetes who need two similar-sized tooth extractions will receive the gel in one socket and standard care in the other. Researchers will compare healing, pain, and satisfaction between the two sides.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Platelet-rich fibrin (a gel made from the patient's own blood platelets)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give dentists a simple way to speed up healing and reduce pain after tooth extractions in people with diabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 12 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The gel might not work better than standard care.
