NCT ID NCT06679283
First seen Apr 08, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), made from a patient's own blood, to standard surgery improves healing of bone and gum damage around dental implants. Forty adults with peri-implantitis will be randomly assigned to receive either surgery with PRF or surgery alone. After 12 months, X-rays and clinical exams will compare bone fill and pocket depth between the two groups.

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)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a better treatment for peri-implantitis, helping to save implants and reduce bone loss.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply widely. PRF may not provide extra benefit over standard surgery.
