sheets act as a mechanical barrier used to protect the denuded area of the palatal donor site
paste form with analgesic action to protect the palatal donor site and help to relief pain
pain score
recorded by the pain trough a Visual Analogue scale score (between 0 and 10. 0: no pain, 1: minimal pain,10: severe pain)
Time frame: 2 weeks
healing
healing of the palatal mucosa using H2O2 Test this test is based on the principle that if the epithelium is discontinuous, then H2O2 diffuses into the CT, the enzyme catalase acts on H2O2to release water and oxygen. This is shown clinically by the production of bubbles on the wound. The area to be evaluated is then dried, and 3% H2O2 is sprinkled on the wound with a syringe, waiting for the appearance of bubbles, which will suggest that the surgical site is not completely epithelialized. Complete healing will be recorded as a dichotomous variable (yes/no).
Time frame: 4 weeks
bleeding
Questionaire, Binary (yes or no).
Time frame: 2 weeks
analgesic consumption
questionaure, Numerical, Amount of analgesics daily consumption
Time frame: 2 weeks
