Comparison of the Effects of Injectable Platelet-rich Fibrin and Low-dose Laser Applications on Palatal Wound Healing.

"In the i-PRF group, 10 ml of venous blood taken from the patient immediately after the SDG operation will be transferred to a tube that does not contain any anticoagulant. The collected venous blood will be centrifuged for 3 minutes at 2300 rpm in a centrifuge device and two layers will be obtained: the lower layer is red blood cells and the upper layer is i-PRF. 20-25 minutes will be waited for polymerization. After polymerization, the polymerized i-PRF will be applied to the wound surface in the donor area. Following the operation, patients will be called for check-ups on the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 14th, 21st and 30th days and their photographs will be taken and the following parameters will be evaluated.~* Pain assessment and analgesic intake~* H2O2 Foaming Test (to assess epithelialization)~* Wound healing will be assessed using the Image program from patient photographs~* Edema and erythema scores will be assessed visually."

"In the laser group, low-dose laser will be applied to the palatal donor area immediately after SDG surgery, on the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 14th days. A GaAlAs diode laser (CHEESETM, GIGAA Laser, Wuhan Gigaa Optronics Technology Co., Ltd., China) with a wavelength of 810 nm and a low-dose diode laser application tip with a fiber diameter of 950 µm will be used. A low-dose diode laser will be applied to the surgical operation area in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, with a non-contact regional 0.3 W power and an intensity of 4 J/cm2 in continuous mode for 1 min. Following the operation, patients will be called for check-ups on the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 14th, 21st and 30th days, and their photographs will be taken and the following parameters will be evaluated. • Pain assessment and analgesic intake~* H2O2 Foaming Test (to assess epithelialization)~* Wound healing will be assessed using Image program from patient photographs~* Edema and erythema scores will be assessed visually."
