Gum graft pain relief? sponge with natural compound shows promise
NCT ID NCT06806566
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a sponge containing carvacrol (a natural compound) could reduce pain after a gum graft procedure. Thirty healthy adults scheduled for gum graft surgery received the sponge on their palate. The main goal was to measure pain levels using a standard pain scale. The study also looked at how well the wound healed and matched the surrounding gum color.
