Palatal Mucosa Wound Healing Following Antimicrobial Gel Application
Italy13 participantsStarted 2024-12-22
Plain-language summary
The present study will be a prospective, randomized, triple-blind, split-mouth, clinical trial.
The study timeline will be include seven total visits. After a screening/study enrolment visit, a wounding surgery visit (Day 0) will be schedule. On Day 0, one standardized wound will be created on each side of the palate (DFGG required for root coverage procedure). Each side of the palate randomly received either antimicrobial gel (treatment group) or placebo (control group) at day 0, 1 and 3.
The patients, an experienced periodontist who performed the surgical procedures and the clinical examiners will be blinded to treatment allocation.
Clinical healing response and patient related outcome measures (PROMs) will be evaluated on postoperative Day 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 30.
