Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Different Procedures on Palatinal Wound Healing After Free Gingival Graft Surgery.

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin (I-TZF) Impregnated Gelatin Sponge and 0.8% Hyaluronic Acid Gel Impregnated Gelatin Sponge on Clinical Healing of Palatinal Wound Healing After Free Gingival Grafting.

This study aimed to help determine the appropriate method to accelerate wound healing at the free gingival graft donor site and to minimize the patient's postoperative complaints. For this purpose, gelatin sponge impregnated with injectable platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF), gelatin sponge impregnated with 0.8% polyvinylpyrrolidone sodium hyaluronate (HA) gel, and standard gelatin sponge application were compared to the secondary wound site on the palate.

The main questions aimed at being answered are:

• Does the use of I-PRF or HA accelerate wound healing in patients?
• Does the use of I-PRF or HA reduce pain and burning symptoms?
• For this purpose, gelatin sponge impregnated with injectable platelet-rich fibrin (I-PRF), gelatin sponge impregnated with 0.8% polyvinylpyrrolidone sodium hyaluronate (HA) gel, and standard gelatin sponge application were compared to the secondary wound site on the palate.

Participants will:

• They will record whether there is pain and burning for 7 days after the operation.
• They will record if there is bleeding in the palate area.
• They will write the number of painkillers they use daily.
• They will visit the clinic on the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th days and 1st and 3rd months after the operation.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Inclusion criteria for the study were;
• patients older than 18 and
• systemically healthy patients,
• who didn't use drugs that affect wound healing,
• didn't have coagulation disorder and nausea, and
• were not anti-inflammatory drug allergy sufferers.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Exclusion criteria for the study were;
• patients who had systematic disorders (such as diabetes, hypertension, radiotherapy, chemotherapy),
• patients who were former or active smokers and alcohol users,
• pregnant and breastfeeding, lactation, menstruation,
• patients with poor oral hygiene, and patients who didn't attend regular check-ups.
