NCT06083259

Brief Summary

An epithelialized gingival graft will be harvested from the palate for the treatment of various mucogingival deformities. The donor site will be treated with either a combination of a collagen sponge and cyanoacrylate or a collagen sponge, cyanoacrylate, and suspending sutures. Intraoperatively, measurements will be taken for palatal tissue thickness, graft dimensions, working time, and primary bleeding time. Data regarding pain perception will be gauged using a visual analog scale, and the number of analgesics, secondary bleeding, epithelization level, and color match will be assessed prospectively. These outcomes will be evaluated on the first 7 days and subsequently on the 14th, 21st, and 28th days. Patient-reported outcomes will be recorded using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 questionnaire.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Donor site pain perception

    Patients score their daily donor site pain perception using visual analog score level by giving numbers from 0 to 10 according to the visual analog scale (0: no pain, 1: minimal pain, 10: severe pain)

    everyday in first week

  • Secondary bleeding time

    Patients will record presence or absence of secondary bleeding (presence=1 or absence=0).

    during first week

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Graft height

    during surgery

  • Graft width

    during surgery

  • Graft thickness

    during surgery

  • Working time

    during surgery

  • Quantity of analgesics

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

gelatin sponge + cyanoacrylate + suspending sutures

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After administration of local anesthesia (2% articaine hydrochloride with epinephrine 1:100,000), palatal thickness will be measured by perpendicularly inserting a Michigan-O periodontal probe from the corners of the rectangular donor area. Epithelialized gingival graft will be harvested. After a rectangular-shaped initial incision, a graft with 1-1.5 mm thickness will be harvested approximately 1.5 to 3 mm away from the gingival margins of the upper teeth. The donor site will be closed with a gelatin sponge + cyanoacrylate + suspending sutures.

Device: Gelatin sponge stabilization with suture and cyanoacrylate

gelatin sponge + cyanoacrylate

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After local anesthesia (2% articaine hydrochloride with epinephrine 1:100,000) administration, palatal thickness will be measured by perpendicularly inserting a Michigan-O periodontal probe from the corners of the rectangular donor area and the mean value will be recorded as palatal tissue thickness. The epithelialized gingival graft will be harvested using 15 knives. After a rectangular-shaped initial incision, a graft with 1-1.5 mm thickness will be harvested approximately 1.5 to 3 mm away from the gingival margins of the upper teeth. The donor site will be closed with a gelatin sponge and cyanoacrylate without sutures.

Procedure: Gelatin sponge stabilization with cyanoacrylate

Interventions

The donor site will be closed both with gelatin sponge +Cyanoacrylate (Spongostan®, Ethicon, USA)+ supporting sutures (control group)
