The Effect of Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin and Low-Level Laser Therapy on Graft Shrinkage in Free Gingival Grafts: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Free Gingival Graft (FGG), Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin (i-PRF), and 1 other intervention for Graft Shrinkage and Gingival Recession, Localized. Completed, enrolled 48 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate whether injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can reduce graft shrinkage after free gingival graft procedures. Free gingival grafts are commonly used to increase the width of keratinized tissue around teeth, but the graft often shrinks during healing. In this study, patients will receive standard free gingival graft surgery with or without additional i-PRF or laser therapy. The goal is to determine whether these treatments improve healing and help maintain the size of the graft.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Standard free gingival graft procedure performed without additional treatments.
Autologous platelet-rich fibrin gel is applied to the graft surface after free gingival graft surgery to potentially reduce graft shrinkage.
Low-level laser therapy is applied to the graft site immediately after surgery and on postoperative days 3, 5, 7, and 14 to potentially improve healing and reduce graft shrinkage.
