About this trial

The use of a connective tissue graft harvested from the palate is currently one of the most effective and predictable alternatives for the correction of periodontal and peri-implant defects, but the discomfort generated in the palate is sometimes greater than mucogingival surgery. For this reason, we found the need to use different materials for palatal protection. In one group we will use light-cured fluid resin compared to another group a self-adhesive dressing to check which of these materials provides less postoperative pain generated by the harvest of a free gingival graft.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Postoperative pain perception in the palate

The harvesting of a connective tissue graft from the palate is the gold standard for periodontal and peri-implant surgery, in which the patient reports greater discomfort in this area if it is not properly protected. From this point of view, randomized patients who will receive protection with fluid resin or self-adhesive dressing will be required to fill out a visual analog scale form in which 0 is the minimum pain presented and 10 the maximum pain. The results will be tabulated to make a comparison between both techniques and to verify which one presented the least postoperative pain.

Time frame

Participants will fill out forms from day 1 after surgery until day 14
