"It has been reported that the use of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to cover palatal wounds accelerates healing and reduces postoperative morbidity. Studies have demonstrated that PRF supports key processes in wound healing, such as immunity, angiogenesis, and cellular proliferation. Its use has garnered significant interest, particularly in non-healing wounds and areas left to heal by secondary intention after surgery. Leukocyte and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) is frequently used in periodontal surgical applications. The platelets and growth factors it contains accelerate the healing process and facilitate tissue repair."

Palatal stents help prevent complications such as infection or excessive discomfort. These plates are typically customized to fit the patient's palate by taking impressions before the surgery. Once placed, they serve as a barrier, especially during the early stages of healing. Additionally, they may reduce the need for postoperative interventions, such as the use of strong painkillers.
