Summary

Keratinized gingiva reduces the risk of gingival disease and infection by protecting the tissue around the teeth and is therefore very important for gingival health. Free gingival grafting is a widely used technique in periodontal surgery. It is used to correct gum recession or to support the tissue around dental implants. Free gingival grafting involves taking the patient's own gum tissue from another area and transplanting it to the area in need. This method is an effective way to restore periodontal health and achieve esthetic results. Scientific studies show that free gum grafting is successful in treating gum recession and preventing complications from implant surgery. However, as with all surgical procedures, several complications can occur after free gum surgery. The most prominent of these is postoperative pain. Although various methods of pain prevention have been proposed in the literature, the most appropriate pain management strategy has not been described. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of analgesia methods on postoperative pain level after free gingival grafting.
