The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of using droplet-form platelet-rich plasma (PRP), known to have positive effects during the intermediate healing process, on wound healing in areas left for secondary healing after gingivectomy. After the gingivectomy procedure, patients will be divided into four groups, each consisting of 10 individuals: Group 1 (Control Group): This group will follow the standard post-gingivectomy protocol without any agent applied to the surgical site. Group 2 (Placebo Group): In this group, the standard protocol will be followed, and physiological saline will be applied to the surgical site in 3-4 drops, four times a day, for 14 days. Groups 3 and 4 (Study Groups): These groups will follow the standard protocol, with PRP prepared using different kits applied to the surgical site in 3-4 drops, four times a day, for 14 days. All patients in the groups will be evaluated on the 3rd, 7th, 14th, and 30th days after the gingivectomy procedure. Postoperative pain will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), while wound healing will be evaluated using the Healing Index (Landry et al.) based on photographs of the region. Before taking standardized photographs, the surgical area will be stained with two-tone dye.
