First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a custom-made acrylic palatal stent (like a mouth guard) can reduce pain and bleeding after gum graft surgery. 44 adults who needed a gum graft from the roof of their mouth either received the stent or standard care. The stent aims to protect the healing wound and make recovery more comfortable.
