This study compares two ways to attach a gum graft during surgery: using small tacks or using stitches. It aims to see which method works better for healing and comfort.
This study tests if using small titanium tacks to hold a gum graft in place causes less pain than the usual stitches. It might help people who need more attached gum around their teeth.
This trial compares two different types of stitches (suture materials) to see which one works better after gum (periodontal) surgery. It may help by improving comfort and healing in people needing resective periodontal surgery.
