Clinical Trial: Platelet-Rich Fibrin for Preventing Osteoradionecrosis After Dental Extractions

U.S., Oct. 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07856875) titled 'Platelet-Rich Fibrin for Preventing Osteoradionecrosis After Dental Extractions' on Sept. 28.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) can help prevent osteoradionecrosis (ORN) after dental extractions in adults who previously received radiation therapy to the head and neck. ORN is a condition in which jawbone damaged by radiation does not heal properly and may become exposed.

The main question this study aims to answer is:

Does placing PRF into dental extraction sites lower the chance of developing ORN within 6 months after extraction?

PRF is made from a small sample of a parti...
