Wound Healing and Patient-Reported Outcomes After Gingival Graft Harvesting From the Palate

Sponsor: Universitat Internacional de Catalunya

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether two different techniques for treating palatal wounds-sutures and cyanoacrylate bioadhesive-can influence postoperative morbidity, clinical healing, and soft tissue dimensional changes in patients undergoing epithelialized gingival graft harvesting from the palate. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the use of cyanoacrylate bioadhesive reduce postoperative morbidity compared to sutures? Does the choice of wound treatment technique affect clinical healing and three-dimensional changes in soft tissues? Researchers will compare the sutures (control group) to the cyanoacrylate bioadhesive (test group) to determine if the bioadhesive leads to improved postoperative outcomes. Participants will: Undergo epithelialized gingival graft harvesting from the palate. Receive either sutures or cyanoacrylate bioadhesive for wound closure. Be monitored for postoperative morbidity, clinical healing, and soft tissue dimensional changes.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Suture

Hemostatic sutures at the palatal donor site; 5-0 non-resorbable suspensory mattress sutures will be anchored to the soft tissues apical to the palatal wound area (5-0 Polypropylene, Prolene, Ethicon, Johnson and Johnson, New Brunswick, NJ, USA).

PROCEDURE

Cyanoacrylate bioadhesive

Several drops of a high-viscosity cyanoacrylate bioadhesive will be applied (Cuantum Oral Adhesive, Cuantum Medical Cosmetics S.L., Spain) to create a uniform adhesive layer.
