Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

  • epithelialization of the palatal wound evaluated by hydrogen peroxide test

    The appearance of bubbles means the wound is not completely epithelialized. The result will be recorded as a dichotomous variable (yes/no).

    at 1 week

  • epithelialization of the palatal wound evaluated by hydrogen peroxide test

    The appearance of bubbles means the wound is not completely epithelialized. The result will be recorded as a dichotomous variable (yes/no).

    at 2 weeks

  • epithelialization of the palatal wound evaluated by hydrogen peroxide test

    The appearance of bubbles means the wound is not completely epithelialized. The result will be recorded as a dichotomous variable (yes/no).

    at 3 weeks

  • epithelialization of the palatal wound evaluated by hydrogen peroxide test

    The appearance of bubbles means the wound is not completely epithelialized. The result will be recorded as a dichotomous variable (yes/no).

    at 1 month

  • epithelialization of the palatal wound evaluated by digital photography

    The epithelialization of the palatal wound will be recorded as "yes" or "no" according to inspectional evaluation of surface characteristics and reflection as well as clarity and distinctness of wound outline.

    at 1 week

  • epithelialization of the palatal wound evaluated by digital photography

    The epithelialization of the palatal wound will be recorded as "yes" or "no" according to inspectional evaluation of surface characteristics and reflection as well as clarity and distinctness of wound outline.

    at 2 weeks

  • epithelialization of the palatal wound evaluated by digital photography

    The epithelialization of the palatal wound will be recorded as "yes" or "no" according to inspectional evaluation of surface characteristics and reflection as well as clarity and distinctness of wound outline.

    at 3 weeks

  • epithelialization of the palatal wound evaluated by digital photography

    The epithelialization of the palatal wound will be recorded as "yes" or "no" according to inspectional evaluation of surface characteristics and reflection as well as clarity and distinctness of wound outline.

    at 1 month

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • postoperative pain

    at day 1

  • postoperative pain

    at day 3

  • postoperative pain

    at day 7

  • consumption of analgesics

    at 1 week

  • willingness to repeat the treatment

    at 1 week

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Gelatin Sponge

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The palatal wound will be protected with an absorbable gelatin sponge, which will be stabilized by non-resorbable sling sutures.

Procedure: Palatal soft tissue graft harvesting

Collagen Sponge

EXPERIMENTAL

The palatal wound will be protected with a collagen sponge, which will be stabilized by non-resorbable sling sutures.

Procedure: Palatal soft tissue graft harvesting

Interventions

After local anaesthesia, a horizontal incision 2 mm apically from the gingival margin will be carried out using a #15C blade. The standardized rectangular graft with a thickness of 1.5 mm will be harvested from distal aspect of canine till first molar. The graft will be lifted and separated using tissue forceps and a blade till it is free from all sides.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Clinical indications utilizing free gingival grafts or de-epithelialized gingival grafts to treat either insufficient keratinized tissue or gingival recession defects
  • Full-mouth plaque score and full-mouth bleeding score lower than 20%

You may not qualify if:

  • Smoking
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • Untreated periodontal disease
  • Severe systemic conditions that contraindicate surgery (diabetes, heart disease, cancer etc.)
  • Presence of coagulation disorders (history of Haemophilia, von Wille-brand disease, or anticoagulant therapy)
  • Taking medications affecting periodontal health or healing
  • Previous surgery for a palate graft harvested from the experimental sites
