Conditions
Brief summary
The main objective of this study was to compare bleeding between the cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive and suture groups, and secondary objectives were to compare operative time, postoperative complications in the palatal donor area, and time to wound healing in de-epithelialized gingival grafts between them. The null hypotheses were as follows: there is no difference in bleeding between the cyanoacrylate and suture; there are no differences in operative time, postoperative complications, and time to wound healing in the palatal donor area.
Interventions
Grafts will be harvested by means of the epithelial-connective tissue graft technique described by Zucchelli et al, gauze soaked in saline solution will be used to apply pressure on the donor surface for 5 min until the bleeding was controlled. Once the bleeding ceased, the surgeon will apply the two layers of cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive. No additional hemostatic procedure will be used. This process takes approximately 30 minutes.
