Active oxygen gel vs hyaluronic acid gel for palatal healing after graft harvest

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Thirty healthy adults with mucogingival defects needing a free gingival graft will be randomly assigned to three equal groups to receive different palatal dressings after graft harvesting. Group A uses a gelatin sponge with flowable composite, Group B uses hyaluronic acid gel with a gelatin sponge and flowable composite, and Group C uses active oxygen gel with a gelatin sponge and flowable composite. Outcomes include pain, analgesic use, wound healing quality, and complete re-epithelialization, assessed over the postoperative period. The study aims to determine which dressing material best supports donor-site recovery. Procedures follow standard graft harvesting techniques and postoperative care under ethical oversight at Suez Canal University.
