Introducing flowable resin composite as a novel palatal dressing after free gingival graft harvesting: a randomized clinical trial
The application of flowable resin composite significantly reduces early postoperative pain following FGG harvesting without compromising healing outcomes. Its ease of application, patient comfort, and comparable clinical performance make it a promising alternative to traditional dressings. However, further investigations are warranted to confirm the biocompatibility of flowable resin composites and their impact on soft tissue healing.
