This randomized clinical comparative study will evaluate the postoperative pain following the FGG graft harvest procedure technique covered by four different methods for coverage of the palatal donor site.
This study will compare the application of : * hemostatic collagen sponge * collagen sponge sealed with abio-adhesive material * Platelet rich fibrin * physical barrier (stent) on the palatal donor sites with the purpose of which one of these will result in least postoperative pain after epithelialized gingival graft (EGG) harvesting.

Pain Assessment (0=No Pain to 10=Worst)
To assess the pain outcomes using the visual analog scale from 0=No pain to 10=worst, excrutiating pain. Assessed daily from days 1 to 14, Day 14 reported.
Time frame: day 14
Bleeding Assessment
To assessed the bleeding outcomes using the visual analog scale (VAS) from 0=No bruising/bleeding to 10=severe bruising/bleeding. Assessed daily from days 1 to 14, Day 14 reported.
Time frame: day 14
Activity Tolerance
To assess the effects on daily activities using the visual analog scale from 0=No Limitation to 10= Bedrest required. Assessed daily from days 1 to 14, Day 14 reported.
Time frame: day 14
Amount of Swelling
To assessed the swelling outcomes using the visual scale (VAS) from 0=No swelling to 10=severe swelling. Assessed daily from days 1 to 14, Day 14 reported.
Time frame: day 14
The Need for Painkiller
To assess the needs for the painkiller using the visual analog scale (VAS). (0 = No painkiller needed to 10 = Needed painkiller). Assessed daily from days 1 to 14, Day 14 reported.
Time frame: day 14

after harvesting the graft from the palate a stent that will be prepared for the patient, will be placed on to cover the wound
