About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of Concentrated Growth Factor (CGF) on Postoperative Edema in Bilateral Impacted Third Molar Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of concentrated growth factor (CGF) on edema after bilateral impacted third molar surgery and to determine its contribution to the healing process.

The main question it aims to answer is:

Is CGF effective on reducing the edema in impacted third molar surgery? Researchers compare the edema amount on the CGF-applied and CGF free sides after impacted third molar surgery. The edema measurements are performed on the second and seventh days.

Read the detailed description

It has been observed that the treatment of impacted tooth extraction, which is the most commonly performed interventional procedure in oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics and affects the patient's comfort and daily life after the operation, has been investigated in many ways and new ideas are constantly emerging. Wound healing is a process controlled by many intracellular and extracellular mechanisms. In recent years, many studies have been conducted to make this process faster and more successful, and it has been observed that the use of platelet products in this area has yielded extremely successful results. Concentrated Growth Factor (CGF), which has gained an important place in regenerative medicine in recent years, has attracted attention due to its potential to minimize postoperative complications.

This randomized clinical trial was conducted at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Ege University.

Forty-nine patients, regardless of gender, with bilateral, symmetrical, bone-retained (vertical, mesioangular, horizontal) impacted third molar in the mandible and without any systemic disease are included in the study. Before the impacted third molar surgery, detailed medical and dental history are taken from the patients.

The patients are informed in detail about the drugs to be used in the study, the applied method, the duration and purpose of the study.

In order to obtain the data required for statistical analysis of the amount of edema on the sides where CGF is used and not used after the operation, edema measurements are made at three points on the patients before the operation, on the 2nd and 7th days after the operation.

These measurements are made between the external canthus-angulus mandible, tragus-commissura and tragus-pogonium.

Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test is used to compare the means of two dependent samples and to determine the significance of the difference between them.

What participants receive

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

  • Concentrated Growth FactorOther

    Bilaterally impacted third molar of the patients areremoved surgically and concentrated growth factor isplaced in one of the extraction sockets.

  • Non-CGFOther

    The other extraction socket is left empty for control purposes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative edema amounts on CGF-applied and CGF free sides in bilateral impacted third molar surgery

    Edema measurements are made at three points on the patients before the operation, on the 2nd and 7th days after the operation. These measurements are made between the external canthus-angulus mandible, tragus-commissura and tragus-pogonium. In order to ensure standardization, all measurements are made by the same physician with the patient's head position in the same direction.

    Measured: Before operation to the end of the operation at seven days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Concentrated Growth Factor and Non-CGF in people with Oral Complication, run by Ege 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 12 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 2025. 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?

Postoperative edema amounts on CGF-applied and CGF free sides in bilateral impacted third molar surgery (time frame: Before operation to the end of the operation at seven days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 2025.
