Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluating the remaining wound area (RWA) will be considered the primary outcome variable. The method for assessment will be performed using Image J software - NIH, Bethesda, USA. A minimum detectable difference of 30% in the remaining wound area (WRA) and a standard deviation of 5 mm² were assumed | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The thickness of the palatal masticatory mucosa will be evaluated under anesthesia before the procedure and 2 months after the procedure through four fixed points (at 5 and 7 mm from the gingival margin) in the donor area. A guide will be made to standardize the points to be measured. ET will be measured using a periodontal probe with an endodontic stop at the 4 marked points until touching the palatal bone tissue. The distance between the stop and the tip of the probe will be measured in millimeters using a digital caliper | — |
