What this trial studies

This study evaluates the impact of various materials, including Ora-Aid oral wound dressing, platelet-rich fibrin, and palatal stents, on the quality of life at the donor site following free gingival graft surgery. The research focuses on patients with insufficient attached gingiva, aiming to improve healing and reduce complications such as pain and delayed recovery. Participants will be monitored for postoperative outcomes to determine the effectiveness of these interventions in enhancing recovery.
