Summary

Objective: To evaluate postoperative pain and quality of life in relation to oral health after obtaining a palatal de-epithelialized gingival graft and subsequent coverage of the surgical wound with an adhesive film of cellulose and fluid composite versus a palatal plate or covering with cyanoacrylate.

Study design: Randomized controlled study.

Patients: Patients who require a de-epithelialized gingival graft will be selected from two private clinics in the Community of Madrid.

Allocation: Patients will be randomly assigned to the study group (cellulose film and flowable composite), control group 1 (palatal plank) or control group 2 (cyanoacrylate coverage).

Variables: Postoperative pain will be recorded using a 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS) and analgesic consumption will be noted. Quality of life in relation to oral health will be recorded using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire.

Analysis plan: Descriptive statistics will be used to describe patient characteristics. The possible differences between the 3 study groups will be evaluated using parametric or non-parametric tests depending on the distribution of the variables.

Interventions

DEVICE

Deepithelized graft and protection technique

To obtain the graft in all cases, on the day of surgery, 4% articaine with epinephrine 1:100,000 will be administered to block the greater palatine nerve. Gingival grafts from all groups will be deepithelialized intraorally using a sterile 834 turbine diamond bur. This drill will go deeper into the palatal mucosa 0.5mm (half of the outermost active part of the drill). The gingival grafts will be obtained with the surgical technique described by Zucchelli et al. 2010.
