This study focuses on the healing of the palatal donor site wound following free gingival graft surgery. The participants have Miller Class I or II gingival recession on both sides of the jaw and are systemically healthy. The main focus of the study is on the soft tissue healing process at the donor site and on reducing bleeding and pain after surgery..

| This study focuses on the healing of the palatal donor site after a free gingival graft. The participants have Miller Class I and II gingival recession on both sides of the jaw and are systemically healthy. The primary aim is to evaluate the soft tissue healing process at the donor site following surgery. another primary aim is to evaluate the reduce bleeding time following surgery. another primary aim is to evaluate the reduce pain following surgery. Timepoint: Clinical assessments will be performed immediately after surgery, on day 7, and on day 14 postoperatively. Method of measurement: Hemostatic efficacy: Time to bleeding cessation at the palatal donor site is measured using a chronometer. Healing duration: Clinical evaluation of donor site wound healing is performed using the Palatal Early Healing Index (PEHI). Pain intensity: Patient-reported pain and discomfort over 14 days post-surgery are recorded using a 0–10 Visual Analog Scale (VAS). | — |
