Implication

Randomized trial shows enhanced wound healing in palatal sites using amnion-chorion membrane, suggesting improved outcomes for certain patients.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of amnion-chorion membrane in enhancing wound healing at palatal donor sites following soft tissue grafts.
Patients requiring autogenous soft tissue grafts were randomized to receive either amnion-chorion membrane or hemostatic agent as a dressing.
Wound healing was assessed over 4 weeks using an Early Healing Index, and patient pain was evaluated with a numeric rating scale (NRS-21).
ACM treatment group exhibited significantly higher EHI scores by 1.17 points compared to the HA group (p = 0.027).
No significant differences in pain levels or analgesic consumption were found between the two groups.
Higher patient age correlated with better EHI scores.
