Summary

This study tested whether shining a low-level red laser on the roof of the mouth after gum graft surgery helps reduce pain and speed up nerve recovery. Thirty adults who needed gum grafts took part. Some received laser treatment on the donor site, while others got standard wound dressing only. Researchers tracked pain, sensation, and quality of life for up to 60 days to see if the laser made a difference.
