NCT ID NCT07408895
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) — made from a patient's own blood — into the gums could speed up the movement of a specific tooth during braces treatment. Twenty-one healthy young adults participated, and each person served as their own control. The goal was to see if these injections could reduce the time needed for orthodontic treatment.
