Abstract
AimTo evaluate the clinical outcomes of collagen sponges (CSs) on wound healing following palatal graft harvesting and compare their efficacy with gelatine sponges (GSs).Materials and MethodsThirty‐two participants who had undergone free gingival grafts or de‐epithelialised gingival grafts were randomised into the CS group or the GS group. Wound healing rate was calculated as the percentage of the healed wound area divided by the initial wound area. Wound healing rate and complete epithelialisation were evaluated at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks. Postoperative pain was assessed on days 1, 3 and 7. Willingness to repeat graft harvesting, delayed bleeding and aesthetic outcomes were also recorded.ResultsCS group had higher wound healing rates than GS group at 1 and 2 weeks (24.44% ± 6.28% vs. 5.56% ± 2.19%, p < 0.01; 91.54% ± 3.20% vs. 75.56% ± 4.77%, p < 0.05). Complete epithelialisation was achieved within 2–3 weeks in CS group and within 2–4 weeks in GS group, but no significant difference was found. Postoperative pain in VAS was lower in the CS group on Day 1 compared with the GS group (1.6 ± 0.4 vs. 3.1 ± 0.5, p < 0.05). No significant difference could be detected in willingness to repeat graft harvesting, delayed bleeding and aesthetic outcomes.ConclusionsCompared with GS, CS seemed to offer improved early healing and reduced postoperative pain following palatal graft harvesting.Trial RegistrationThis trial was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry with the registration number ChiCTR2200057221 (https://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.html?proj=154474) on March 4, 2022
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Periodontology was founded by the British, Dutch, French, German, Scandinavian, and Swiss Societies of Periodontology.
The aim of the Journal of Clinical Periodontology is to provide the platform for exchange of scientific and clinical progress in the field of Periodontology and allied disciplines, and to do so at the highest possible level. The Journal also aims to facilitate the application of new scientific knowledge to the daily practice of the concerned disciplines and addresses both practicing clinicians and academics. The Journal is the official publication of the European Federation of Periodontology but wishes to retain its international scope.
The Journal publishes original contributions of high scientific merit in the fields of periodontology and implant dentistry. Its scope encompasses the physiology and pathology of the periodontium, the tissue integration of dental implants, the biology and the modulation of periodontal and alveolar bone healing and regeneration, diagnosis, epidemiology, prevention and therapy of periodontal disease, the clinical aspects of tooth replacement with dental implants, and the comprehensive rehabilitation of the periodontal patient. Review articles by experts on new developments in basic and applied periodontal science and associated dental disciplines, advances in periodontal or implant techniques and procedures, and case reports which illustrate important new information are also welcome.
