This study tested whether applying Concentrated Growth Factor (CGF) or Collagen Fleece to the roof of the mouth after gum graft surgery helps it heal faster and with less pain. 38 healthy adults took part, and the researchers measured healing and comfort over several months. The …

This study tested two treatments for healing scars after a cesarean section: a special gel and a plant-based ointment. 117 women who had a C-section used one of the two treatments. Nurses checked their scars for redness, color, and thickness, and women reported pain and satisfact…

This study looked at 29 healthy adults who needed both lower wisdom teeth removed. One side got a platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) gel, and the other got a collagen sponge to help healing. The goal was to see which material led to less pain, less swelling, and better bone healing in th…

This study tested whether a single session of laser treatment right after gum graft surgery could reduce pain and help the wound heal faster. 36 healthy adults took part, and half received the laser while the other half got standard care. Researchers measured pain levels, wound s…

This study tested a gel containing a healing protein (GM-CSF) on 30 people with acne scars. After laser treatment, the gel was applied to one side of the face to see if it reduced redness and helped the skin recover faster. The goal was to improve wound healing without changing t…

This study tested whether applying a medical glue (cyanoacrylate) or a concentrated growth factor gel to the roof of the mouth after gum graft surgery helps the wound heal faster and reduces pain. Sixty healthy adults who needed a gum graft participated. The results will show if …

This study tested whether applying chitosan (a natural substance from shellfish) and i-PRF (a concentrate from the patient's own blood) can speed up healing and reduce pain after gum graft surgery. 68 healthy adults who needed a gum graft were divided into three groups: one recei…

This study looked at wound fluid from 13 people with hard-to-heal leg ulcers. Researchers collected samples over 24 hours to measure how the fluid affects skin cells and bacteria. The goal was to learn more about why some wounds don't heal, not to test a new treatment.

This study explored whether a person's magnesium level, measured by a magnesium depletion score, affects how well the socket heals after wisdom tooth removal. Researchers followed 111 healthy adults who had a lower wisdom tooth taken out. They checked healing and pain levels to s…
