ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how two treatments—Platelet-rich Fibrin (PRF) and Vitamin D injections—affect gum health during orthodontic treatment, which is when braces or other devices are used to straighten teeth. The goal is to see if these treatments can help improve the health of gums in people who need certain dental procedures, specifically those who have specific types of bite issues.

To be part of this study, participants need to be between 18 and 40 years old and have a specific dental condition that requires the removal of certain teeth as part of their orthodontic treatment. It's important that they have good oral hygiene and healthy gums. However, people with active gum disease, poor oral hygiene, or certain health conditions that could affect their teeth or gums won't be eligible. If you join the trial, you'll receive one of the treatments and have regular check-ups to monitor your gum health during the process.
