Overview

Observational study evaluates postoperative pain in patients after free gingival grafts, suggesting graft thickness impacts discomfort.

Key Points

  • Evaluate self-reported postoperative pain and clinical factors affecting pain in free gingival grafting.
  • Prospective observational clinical study
  • Included 40 systemically healthy patients aged 18–65
  • Measured palatal mucosal thickness and graft dimensions
  • Recorded pain intensity using the Visual Analog Scale on specific postoperative days
  • Conducted statistical analyses including regression modeling
  • Pain intensity peaked at mean 6.3 on day 1, decreasing by day 28
  • Greater graft thickness correlated with increased pain scores
  • Higher palatal mucosal thickness linked to reduced pain perception
  • Wound size and demographic variables showed no significant impact on pain levels
  • Analgesic use was highest on day 1 and minimal after day 14
