About this study

Wisdom tooth extraction is the most common surgical procedure being carried out in oral surgical departments. The complications carried by post operative period include pain and trismus and may affect patient's quality of life.

PRP is an autologous concentrate of platelet in plasma and accelerate healing by production of growth factors. PRP is prepared from patient's own blood and later packed with gel sponge (Spongistone) in the experimental group immediately after surgical extraction of mandibular third molar teeth, followed by suture placement to close the surgical site.

Read the detailed description

Wisdom tooth extraction is the most common surgical procedure being carried out in oral surgical departments. The complications carried by post operative period includes pain, swelling, trismus , along with disturbance in post extraction wound healing which may significantly affect patient's quality of life.

PRP is an autologous concentrate of platelet suspended in plasma and accelerate healing by production of various growth factors. PRP is prepared from patient's own blood and later packed with gel sponge (Spongistone) in the experimental group immediately after surgical extraction of mandibular third molar teeth, followed by suture placement to close the surgical site. PRP speeds up healing by concentration of growth factors which can lessen the inflammation and decreases trismus and pain.

Being tested
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Surgical Extraction

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)Procedure or surgery

    PRP was prepared by withdrawing 8-10 ml of patients own blood (IV from antecubiodal area and collected in a vacuum tube coated with anticoagulant (Na citrate). For activation 1 ml of calcium chloride was added to Platelet Rich Plasma. This layer of approximately 2 ml of PRP was then taken into the residual bone cavity along with gel sponge to stimulate regeneration in wound healing after surgical extraction of mandibular third molar tooth followed by sutures

  • Surgical ExtractionProcedure or surgery

    Surgical extraction procedure under Local anesthesia on dental chair, followed by spongstone (gel sponge) and suture placement.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Surgical Extraction in people with Tooth Extraction, run by Foundation University Islamabad.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04452734, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jun 2020.
