The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether two different techniques for treating palatal wounds-sutures and cyanoacrylate bioadhesive-can influence postoperative morbidity, clinical healing, and soft tissue dimensional changes in patients undergoing epithelialized gingival graft harvesting from the palate. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the use of cyanoacrylate bioadhesive reduce postoperative morbidity compared to sutures? Does the choice of wound treatment technique affect clinical healing and three-dimensional changes in soft tissues? Researchers will compare the sutures (control group) to the cyanoacrylate bioadhesive (test group) to determine if the bioadhesive leads to improved postoperative outcomes. Participants will: Undergo epithelialized gingival graft harvesting from the palate. Receive either sutures or cyanoacrylate bioadhesive for wound closure. Be monitored for postoperative morbidity, clinical healing, and soft tissue dimensional changes.
