Tissue tacks may improve graft stability but their effect on pain is unclear. The study compares tacks and sutures by measuring pain, stability, healing success, and patient comfort.
Tissue tacks are a newer method for securing free gingival grafts ,offering potential benefits such as improved graft stability and reduced movement compared to traditional criss- cross sutures. However, the impact of tissue tacks on postoperative pain remains unclear. This study seeks to evaluate whether tissue tacks, while possibly enhancing graft stability and healing, result in higher pain levels compared to sutures, and whether these outcomes affect the overall clinical success and patient comfort during healing.
