The subjects fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be randomized into two groups (Group A & Group B) by computer method.



The subjects will be given the Patient information sheet (PIS) on the first day of visit.



Maxillary impression will be taken using alginate and the cast will be prepared for all the subjects participating in the       study, then the acrylic stent will be made.

 

2ml Local anesthesia 2% lidocaine (adrenaline 1:10000) will be administered at Nasopalatine and Greater palatine on the day of surgery.



Incision will be placed using blade #15 for procurement of the palatal graft. A standard measurement of width and height (1cm x 1cm) graft will be taken from all the patients.



10 ml of blood from antecubital vein of the patient will be collected in the sterile test tube without anticoagulant and       will  be centrifuged for – 12 min at the centrifugation speed at – 2700 RPM to obtain PRF for the Control Group B.

The patients who are allocated to Test group A- 1% Calendula Officinalis gel will be placed on the palatal wound and Gelatin film will be placed over and suture/glued whereas, Group B will receive Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Gelatin film will be placed over and sutured/glued.



(The 10% calendula gel will be diluted to 1% calendula by distilled water by the help of Manipal college of pharmacy.) 10% calendula officinalis is readliy available in the market (Fourrts)



Then the stent will be placed in both the groups.



The procured graft then will be used in periodontal surgery according to the patients requirement.ie; to increase the width of attached gingiva, miller class 1 or class 2 recession or Vestibuloplasty.
