Clinical trials: Perception of Pain
Palatal Donor Site Wound Healing, Platelet Rich Fibrin
Characterizing the Effects of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) as a Palatal Wound Dressing on Quality of Life and Sleep Following Mucogingival Surgery. Study Was Conducted at the Air Force Post Graduate Dental School. All HIPPA Consents and Research Informed Consents Are Located at JBSA-Lackland.
The goal of this clinical trial (2-arm) is to determine if the application of platelet rich fibrin (PRF) to palatal donor sites influence patients quality of life, sleep efficiency, and healing following mucogingival surgery.
