Blood clot trick may cut wisdom tooth pain
NCT ID NCT07604584
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a substance made from a patient's own blood, called platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), could reduce pain, swelling, and jaw stiffness after impacted wisdom tooth surgery. Thirty smokers and nonsmokers each had one tooth socket treated with PRF and the other left as a control. Researchers measured pain, swelling, and mouth opening during the first week after surgery.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, natural way to reduce pain and speed recovery after wisdom tooth surgery, especially for smokers.
