Brief Summary

Connective tissue graft (CTG) and free gingival graft (FGG) harvesting from the palatal area has been used frequently in the periodontal mucogingival surgery and reported to provide higher predictability and success regarding esthetic outcomes. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of oral flurbiprofen spray on wound healing, postoperative patient morbidity and discomfort after palatal graft harvesting. Forty eight patients scheduled for CTG and FGG requiring periodontal plastic surgeries were selected. The patients were randomly assigned to each group, and used oral spray of flurbiprofen or placebo 3 times a day for a week. The palatal donor area was evaluated at 1 and 3 days and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 weeks postsurgery for postoperative pain, complete epithelization, feeding habits, color match, and total number of analgesic pills taken. The Wound-Healing Index (WHI) was recorded at 2-week follow up.
