Sponsor's own description

Connective tissue graft operation is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures to increase the width of the attached gingiva and to treat gingival recessions. The most preferred donor site during this operation is the palatal mucosa.Reported postoperative complications are usually related to the donor site. Problems such as prolongation of bleeding time, delay in wound healing and severe pain in the palatal region where the graft is taken are frequently encountered. Bleeding control in the palatal donor area is very important for patient comfort. Additional measures may be required to control bleeding, such as sutures with or without hemostatic agents, or acrylic, plastic palatal stents and periodontal pastes prepared before the operation. Suturing the Greater Palatine Artery (GPA) or terminal vessel branches has been shown to be an effective method to control palatal bleeding. Therefore the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the pre-suture method applied in the palatal region before the connective tissue graft is taken in reducing hemostasis.Pre-suture method can increase the operator's field of vision and operational comfort. Patient-reported outcomes such as the amount of pain and bleeding in the palatal donor area during and after surgery, painkiller intake, number of days of discomfort, satisfaction, quality of life, and willingness to be treated will be evaluated. In addition, it will be evaluated whether this suture technique affects the healing of the half-thickness flap in the palatal region after obtaining a connective tissue graft with a single incision method.
