Abstract
The present findings demonstrate that low-level laser therapy reduces postoperative pain levels associated with the palatal donor site in free gingival graft surgeries, as well as accelerating the clinical healing of the surgical wound. Low-level laser therapy is associated with improved postoperative morbidity of the donor area in free gingival graft.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Periodontal Research is an international research periodical the purpose of which is to publish original clinical and basic investigations and review articles concerned with every aspect of periodontology and related sciences. Brief communications (1-3 journal pages) are also accepted and a special effort is made to ensure their rapid publication. Reports of scientific meetings in periodontology and related fields are also published.
One volume of six issues is published annually.
