Effect of self-activating phthalocyanine gel on palatal donor site healing, inflammatory biomarkers, somatosensory and patient-centered outcomes: a randomized split-mouth clinical trial.
A split-mouth trial compared phthalocyanine gel versus placebo on palatal donor sites after connective tissue graft harvesting. Both treatments achieved similar healing, though the active gel showed reduced residual remodeling and increased anti-inflammatory markers.
