No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There is no study in the literature showing the effects of Zn on wound healing after free gingival graft (FGG) operation. The aim of this randomized clinical study was to compare the early healing results of the palatal wound after FGG harvesting by sterile hemostatic agent suturing or the use of surgical stent from thermoplastic Zn-containing granules which was prepared chairside.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Zn granulate stent after FGG surgery

Immediately after FGG harvesting from the palatal tissue, homeostasis was achieved by sterile wet gauzes and the ZnG was prepared according to the manufacturer guidelines. Briefly, approximately 10 grams of granulate was poured into hot water and then manually shaped to cover the surgical area. The retention was achieved from the palatal, occlusal and buccal surfaces of the teeth. The patient was asked to wear the ZnG for 7 days except for eating.(

PROCEDURE

Hemostatic agent suturing

Immediately after FGG harvesting from the palatal tissue, homeostasis was achieved by sterile wet gauzes. Then hemostatic agent containing cellulose were sutured on the palatal wound area with 4.0 vicryl sutures in this group. Sutures were removed after 7 days.
