Abstract

Background: Procurement of FGG from the palate presents with bleeding, pain, discomfort and delayed healing at the recipient sites. In this study platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and gelatin sponge are compared for their properties in terms of handling, pain control and assisting in the recipient site healing. Materials and Method: In the present randomized clinical trial, 14 patients were taken and donor area was randomly assigned into test and control sites after harvesting of FGG. Dimensions of the graft was similar and obtained from same site with 4mm spacing in test and control sites that was used to rise the attached gingiva width with or without recession.
