Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare different de-epithelialization methods in patients undergoing soft tissue augmentation surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:
• Which technique is superior for de-epithelialization in terms of remaining epithelium, wound healing of the donor site, and clinical outcomes?
• Which technique is superior for de-epithelialization in terms of remaining epithelium, wound healing of the donor site, and clinical outcomes?
Detailed Description:
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four surgical techniques during their surgical procedure and the wound site will be assessed on post-operative days 1, 7, 14, and 21.
Researchers will compare the use of mucotome, Er:YAG laser, surgical diamond bur, or blade to observe patterns of wound healing and assess if one method is superior in terms of removing the epithelium.
