Abstract:AimsDespite the established use of palatal tissue grafts for mucogingival procedures, there are no studies on the effect of extraoral storage time on graft outcomes. This prospective split‐mouth randomized experimental clinical trial aimed to assess whether gingival graft extraoral storage time affects graft healing.MethodsStandardized grafts were harvested from the palate and stored extraorally for 2 (Control) or 40 (Test) minutes before being placed at recipient beds. Intraoral scans, clinical photographs, a… Show more
