NCT ID NCT06244797

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested whether a special blood product called platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), made from a patient's own blood, can reduce pain, swelling, and jaw stiffness after impacted wisdom tooth extraction. 75 healthy adults aged 18-40 took part. The PRF was placed into the tooth socket after removal, and recovery was tracked for a week. The goal was to see if this simple, natural approach could make the days after surgery more comfortable.
