Description
Wee Jian Chong, Masfueh Razali, Badiah Baharin, and Nik Madihah Nik Azis review pain and harm at the donor site after gum grafts are taken from the palate, in work from 2025. Such grafts are common in gum surgery, and the palate wound is often the worst part for patients. Dressings differ, and their worth needs weighing.
The search covered five data stores plus grey sources to mid-2025. Sixty-eight studies qualified, and thirty-eight gave pain scores on a standard scale across the first week. Other harms included bleeding, burning, changed feeling, and altered eating. Quality checks were applied to the trial subset. The review maps which dressings ease the first week most.
