Gingival Graft

Free gingival graft is one of the technique used for root coverage so as to increase the inadequate keratinized tissue. The donor tissue is most frequently taken from the palate and generally the donor site is not covered or protected. Platelet rich fibrin is one of the good option for the wound coverage of donor site after free gingival graft so as to reduce the pain perception to patient and faster wound healing. The case report includes two cases with gingival recession, treated on the same day with free gingival graft with the use of platelet rich fibrin in the donor site in case 1 and without platelet rich fibrin in case 2 respectively which were compared for pain perception and wound healing postoperatively at 24 hours, 3 days, 5 days, 7 days and 14 days. There was less pain perception and discomfort in the donor site with the use of platelet rich fibrin and enhanced healing compared to donor site without platelet rich fibrin.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the healing effect of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) clot membranes in palatal wounds, resulting from free gingival graft (FGG) harvesting, on the reepithelization rate and on the pain experience after surgery. Materials and Methods Twenty-five patients requiring FGG have participated in this prospective cohort study. After FGG harvesting, the test group (n = 14) received A-PRF clot membranes at the palatal wound and the control group (n = 11) received a gelatin sponge. Epithelialization rate of the palatal wound, wound healing area, correspondent percentage of reduction, and postsurgical pain experience were assessed at 2, 7, 14, 30, and 90 days. Results A-PRF group had higher palatal wound reduction than the control group, at 7, 14, and 30 days of follow-up. The highest difference between the groups was attained at 30 days (91.5% for A-PRF vs. 59.0% control group). At 14 days, a significant difference in the proportion of patients showing total epithelization was found: 64.3% for A-PRF versus 9.1% for the control group. At 90 days, both groups showed total recovery. The control group experienced higher pain level and discomfort until the 14th day, being notably higher on the second day. Conclusion The results suggest that A-PRF membranes haste the healing process, and promote greater reduction along the recovery period and less painful postoperative period.
