The Clinical Impact of L-PRF, H-PRF or the Use of Surgical Stent on Palatal Donor Site Healing.
Purpose
A Randomized, Three Parallel Arms Clinical Trial to evaluate s the clinical impact of L-PRF vs H-PRF vs Palatal stent on the healing of the donor palatal site.

Arm Groups
Arm | Description | Assigned Intervention |
---|---|---|
Experimental GROUP 1 |
L-PRF membranes will be placed on the palatal donor site to help stabilizing the blood clot and release of growth factors that help in deceasing the discomfort wound healing. |
|
Experimental GROUP 2 |
H-PRF membranes will be placed on the palatal donor site to help stabilizing the blood clot and release of growth factors that help in deceasing the discomfort wound healing. |
|
Experimental GROUP 3 |
A surgical stent will be delivered to cover the surgical site and apply pressure on the wound site. |

Detailed Description
A Randomized, Three Parallel Arms Clinical Trial. The primary objective is to assess the clinical impact of L-PRF vs H-PRF vs Palatal stent on the healing of the donor palatal site by comparing the percentage of re-epithelization of the palatal donor site at 5, 10, 14 and 21 days using a standardized intraoral palatal photo. The secondary objective is to compare the post op discomfort between the three groups during the healing period daily for 2 weeks using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Analgesic consumption. All subjects from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry clinics. Subjects that are coming increasing the width of keratinized tissue or for the treatment of gingival recession, and match the inclusion criteria will be told about the research and offered the opportunity to participate.
