Free Gingival Graft Patients' Treatment Perception and Experience: a Retrospective Survey.
Sponsor: Istanbul Aydın University
Summary
Free gingival graft (FGG) is a common and effective periodontal procedure used to improve gum health; however, it can involve challenges such as postoperative pain and discomfort due to the requirement of a secondary donor site. While clinical outcomes are well-documented, long-term patient perceptions and overall satisfaction levels have not been sufficiently explored. The purpose of this retrospective study is to systematically evaluate patient experiences, satisfaction levels, and the willingness to undergo the procedure again in individuals who underwent FGG surgery at least one year ago.
