Condition: Recession, Gingival · Sponsor: Izmir Katip Celebi University
The inadequate width of attached gingiva, resulting from the loss of the attached gingiva band, is one of the primary mucogingival issues. Free gingival graft (FGG) is a mucogingival surgical technique used to increase the amount of attached gingiva, cover exposed root surfaces in localized gingival recessions, deepen the vestibule, and eliminate frenulum and muscle attachments. The harvested tissue is keratinized attached gingiva. Due to ease of access, the palate is most commonly preferred as the donor site. Complications that may arise following FGG surgery are generally donor site-related. Reported complications include postoperative bleeding, recurrent herpetic lesions, delayed healing, paresthesia, mucocele, arteriovenous shunt, and postoperative pain. To aid healing and reduce discomfort and pain associated with the wound site in the palate after surgery, various materials have been applied to the donor site to facilitate recovery. Following FGG surgery, patients will be divided into three groups based on the application of different materials to the wound site in the palate: leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF), Ora-Aid oral wound dressing, and a palatal surgical stent. In the Ora-Aid group, after harvesting the graft and placing it in the recipient site, the wound area will be irrigated with saline solution, and Ora-Aid will be trimmed to the appropriate size and shape. It will be gently pressed onto the wound for 5-10 seconds until it adheres. Ora-Aid and L…
