In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether titanium tacks can be used as an alternative to sutures for stabilization of free gingival grafts (FGG) around natural teeth. It will also evaluate the effect of each stabilization technique on patient comfort and clinical outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does stabilization of free gingival grafts using titanium tacks reduce post-operative pain compared with conventional suturing? * Does stabilization of free gingival grafts using titanium tacks affect clinical outcomes such as keratinized tissue width, gingival thickness, graft dimensions, procedure time, plaque accumulation, and interference with daily activities? Researchers will compare free gingival graft stabilization using titanium tacks with the conventional suturing technique to determine whether titanium tacks provide comparable or improved outcomes.

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients age 18 years or older. 2. Patients with healthy systemic condition. 3. Indication for FGG treatment (i.e., difficulty or discomfort during oral hygiene; gingival margin mobility; high muscle attachment and/or frenum pull; shallow vestibule and gingival recession) around natural teeth. 4. Keratinized tissue width (KTW) \< 2 mm. 5. Good oral hygiene. 6. Cooperative patients. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnant females. 2. Smokers: a contraindication for any plastic periodontal surgery. 3. Unmotivated and uncooperative patients with poor oral hygiene. 4. Patients with habits that may compromise the longevity and affect the result of the study as parafunctional habits. 5.
