Flowable Resin Versus Self-Adhesive Dressing for Palatal Donor-Site Protection
Sponsor: Universidad de Especialidades Espiritu Santo
Summary
This pilot randomized clinical study compared two methods for protecting the palatal donor site after harvesting a free gingival graft. Twelve adult participants were randomly assigned to receive either a hemostatic collagen sponge covered with flowable resin composite or a hemostatic collagen sponge covered with a self-adhesive oral dressing stabilized with sutures. Participants recorded pain at the palatal donor site daily for 14 days using a 0-to-10 pain scale. The study also evaluated the time required to apply each protective material and the number of days that it remained in place.

Interventions
Flowable Resin Composite Palatal Barrier
A hemostatic collagen sponge was covered by a light-cured flowable resin composite barrier bonded to the palatal enamel surfaces of the adjacent teeth.
Self-Adhesive Oral Dressing
A hemostatic collagen sponge was covered by a self-adhesive oral dressing stabilized with X-shaped 5-0 nylon sutures.
