Reports on postoperative periodontal patient outcomes are limited. The aim of this observational trial was to compare patient\u2010based outcomes for CTGs and FGGs.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Patients who received CTG or FGG completed postoperative questionnaires at 3 days and 3 weeks to assess pain, number of analgesic pills taken, and number of days pills were taken. Postoperative pain was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Twenty\u2010three subjects (12 CTGs and 11 FGGs) completed the study. Differences between CTG and FGG groups in VAS pain scores at 3 days did not reach statistical significance. The proportion of subjects reporting pain in the palate at 3 days was significantly greater for FGG (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.05). There were no significant intergroup differences at 3 weeks. For the FGG group, 3\u2010week VAS pain scores were less than the 3\u2010day ones (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.01). For the entire study population, the number of days analgesic pills were taken, total number of analgesic pills taken, and number of pills taken from day 3 to the end of the study correlated with the 3\u2010week pain scores.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    FGG is associated with a greater incidence of donor site pain compared to CTG at the early postoperative period. Longer\u2010term pain after soft tissue grafting is associated with greater analgesic usage. There is an opportunity to improve the postoperative protocols of soft tissue grafting, particularly for FGG.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2008.070325","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,3,3]],"date-time":"2008-03-03T09:21:35Z","timestamp":1204536095000},"page":"425-430","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":178,"title":["Patient Outcomes Following Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft and Free Gingival Graft Procedures"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"79","author":[{"given":"Jeffrey R.","family":"Wessel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dimitris N.","family":"Tatakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-3913(80)90090-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1985.56.12.715"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1994.65.10.929"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","first-page":"885","article-title":"The subepithelial connective tissue graft for root coverage in periodontal therapy \u2010 Rationale and technique","volume":"60","author":"Holthuis AF","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Can Dent Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1061-3315(18)30048-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2001.72.11.1470"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2002.73.11.1299"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1999.70.7.743"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2006.050114"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","first-page":"243","article-title":"Free gingival grafts","volume":"4","author":"Nabers JM","year":"1966","journal-title":"Periodontics"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.1973.44.4.248"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","first-page":"65","article-title":"Root coverage using a free soft tissue autograft following citric acid application.
