Clinicians' Stress Levels During Soft Tissue Augmentation Using Autogenous Connective Tissue Grafts: A Pilot Study
SCTG causes short-term physical stress, but clinicians appear to cope well and do not feel more anxious while performing them. Characterizing stress dynamics during mucogingival surgery may help inform future research on clinician performance, fatigue, and procedural safety in soft tissue augmentation.
