Effects of Laser Stimulation on Wound Healing of Human Palatal Tissue

Stopped: COVID-19

Canada11 participantsStarted 2019-01-24

Plain-language summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) with an Er:YAG laser on the palatal donor site following subepithelial connective tissue graft (SECTG) surgery. Patient-centred outcomes and wound healing will be compared between a control group, who receives no laser treatment, and the test group receiving PBM therapy. It is hypothesized that laser stimulation will have a beneficial effect on the patient's post-operative experience as well as the healing of the tissues.
