Summary

This study compares the effects of free gingival graft (FGG) surgery on prosthetically restored and non-restored teeth regarding patients' oral quality of life using various scales. Patients with insufficient attached gingiva who are indicated for free gingival graft surgery will be included in this study. We will collect demographic data, including age, gender for all patients who meet the inclusion criteria. Prior to the surgery, all patients will have their oral periodontal indices and their scores on the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) recorded. All patients will undergo free gingival graft surgery using the same surgical technique, and we will record operation details such as graft dimensions and the location of the recipient bed. The OHIP-14 will be completed three times: once one day, one week, and again one month after the surgery. Additionally, a satisfaction questionnaire will be administered one month post-operation, and a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain will be collected during one week after the surgery. Following statistical analysis of the collected data, we will report on the impact of the free gingival graft surgery on oral health-related quality of life. The distribution of OHIP-14 scores, satisfaction survey results, and VAS pain scale data will be analyzed in relation to demographic characteristics and their association with surgical data.
