Summary

This study tests whether adding Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) – a natural substance made from your own blood – to a bone graft helps the extraction site heal faster and grow more bone. Fourteen adults needing two tooth extractions will receive PRF plus bone graft in one socket and standard bone graft with a collagen membrane in the other. The study lasts about 4 months and compares gum closure, pain, bone changes, and new bone growth between the two treatments.

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 (PRF) made from your own blood, combined with bone graft
What this could lead to: If it works, this could lead to faster healing and better bone growth after tooth extraction, reducing the need for additional procedures before dental implants.
What could go wrong: This is a very small early study with only 14 people, so results may not apply to everyone. There is also a risk of bruising or discomfort from the blood draw.
