Intervention  Platelet-Rich Fibrin(PRF) used as a biological dressing  after harvesting free gingival graft from the palatal donor site, the healing of the donor site occurs through secondary intention. The morbidity experienced by the patient in the donor site is the major concern of the free gingival graft procedure. in order to hasten the healing process of the palatal donor site, PRF is used as a biological dressing at the palatal donor site. the PRF membrane being rich in growth factors help in faster epithelialisation of the donor site, thereby reducing the time taken for healing and reducing the patient pain and discomfort.

Brief Summary   The root coverage procedures are performed for the correction of gingival recession, which is necessary for aesthetic demands, root hypersensitivity, root carious lesions, and cervical abrasions. One of the treatment modalities performed for the gingival recession is free gingival graft(FGG). The keratinized gingiva of the hard palate is one of the common sites for obtaining a free soft tissue graft for periodontal plastic surgical procedure. They yield excellent clinical results and are considered superior. The disadvantages of free gingival grafts are requirement of second surgical site, tissue necrosis, hemorrhage, discomfort and pain. the donor site healing occurs by secondary intention and it takes about 2-4 weeks for the healing to be complete. There is very minimal literature evidence to overcome the disadvantages of the free gingival graft procedure. Choukroun’s platelet rich fibrin is a second generation platelet concentrate that is used in wound healing of skin wounds and recent evidences suggest application of PRF for various modalities in the periodontal therapy. The PRF has stimulatory effect on wound healing due to the presence of various growth factors and also acts as an excellent scaffold for angiogenesis and epithelialisation.
This study is time bound (18 Months) randomized controlled clinical trial, patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria during the study period will be recruited for the study. This study is aimed to evaluate the palatal wound healing after free gingival graft procedure by comparing the healing parameters, cytological study and VAS score of the recruited subjects whose palatal wounds are to dressed with PRF as a biological dressing with those whose wounds are not to be treated with a biological dressing.
