About this study

Official title: Comparative Evaluation of Pain, Soft Tissue Healing and Density of Newly Formed Bone Tissue in Surgical Extraction Sockets After Leukocyte and Platelet Rich Fibrin and Photobiomodulation Applications

The aim of this study is to compare leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) and photobiomodulation (PBM) applications, which have been repeatedly reported to be superior to control groups, in terms of pain, soft tissue and bone healing in tooth extraction sockets.

Read the detailed description

After sample size calculation, healthy volunteers were included in the study. Both teeth of these individuals with bilaterally impacted wisdom teeth were extracted simultaneously. Photobiomodulation (PBM) or leukocyte and platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF), an autogenous blood product, was randomly applied to the right or left side extraction sockets. Volunteers were called for repeat sessions (days 2,4,7,7,11,11,14,18 and 21) for the PBM treated side. Follow-ups were performed for pain (days 2,4,7) and soft and bone tissue healing.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Newly formed bone (Healing at extraction sockets)

    Newly formed bone assessed on Panoramic x-ray with Image J programme

    Measured: Bone healing at the end of 1st and 3rd months after third molar extractions

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Soft tissue healing

    Landry Index scores (1: Very poor, 2: Poor, 3: Good, 4. Very Good, 5. Excellent healing)

    Measured: End of 1st, 2nd week and 1st month after tooth extraction

  2. Probing depth

    Probing depth of second mandibular molar distal pocket (millimeters)

    Measured: End of 1st, 2nd week and 1st month after tooth extraction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing photobiomodulation and Leukocyte and Platelet Rich Fibrin in people with Healing Surgical Wounds and Pain, run by Akdeniz University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 25 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Newly formed bone (Healing at extraction sockets) (time frame: Bone healing at the end of 1st and 3rd months after third molar extractions). 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 NCT06328413, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Mar 2024.
