Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to compare of the effects of different fixation methods on deepithelialized gingival graft wound healing. Laser doppler flowmetry method was used to determine for blood perfusion changes. 40 patients were devided into two groups randomly and deepithelialized gingival graft procedure was performed and healings were evaluated by laser doppler flowmetry.
Detailed Description
This study evaluates the effects of different fixation methods on the early healing period of deepithelialized gingival grafts placed for non-root coverage gingival augmentation by laser Doppler flowmetry Forty patients were assigned to study groups: 1)test : tissue adhesive or 2) control group: suture. Forty patients completed the study. Blood perfusion in the recipient site was measured by laser doppler flowmetry on the day of surgery and at 3 and 7 days after surgery. Quality of life and pain at recipient sites were also investigated.
