| Silver nanoparticle dressings is expected to enhance wound healing by promoting faster epithelialization and reducing inflammation, compared to non-eugenol dressing. Also monitoring salivary FGF2 levels at different intervals post-procedure provides valuable insight into tissue regeneration dynamics. Timepoint: Follow-up at baseline,7 days, 1 month and 3 month post-operatively. | — |
