Laser Bandage and Surgical Stent as Palatal Donor Site Dressing After Free Gingival Graft Surgery.
India24 participantsStarted 2021-06-12
Plain-language summary
The free gingival graft (FGG) procedure is a harvesting technique that creates an open wound that heals by secondary intention. Retarded wound healing, excessive bleeding, and postoperative pain have been reported after FGG procedures. Hemostatic agents include ferric sub-sulfate solution, absorbable synthetic collagen, absorbable gelatin sponge, or oxidized regenerated cellulose. The agents are often combined with a surgical stent designed to cover the donor site, providing protection and pressure hemostasis. Diode laser also exhibits excellent thermal effects with deep tissue penetrative properties, to enhance coagulation. Laser Bandage (LB) could also enhance wound healing and reduce subjective postoperative complications in the palatal donor area after harvesting FGG similarly.
