NCT ID NCT07409571
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether applying a topical steroid (triamcinolone acetonide) to the roof of the mouth after gum graft surgery can speed healing, reduce pain, and improve quality of life. About 55 adults needing a gum graft will be randomly assigned to receive either the steroid or a standard collagen membrane. Researchers will check wound healing, scarring, pain, and daily-life impact over 30 days.
