Background/Objectives: Autogenous palatal free gingival graft (FGG) harvesting presents challenges for patients due to the increased risk of postoperative morbidity related a second intraoral surgical wound that heals with secondary intention. This parallel-group, randomized, controlled, open-label trial aimed evaluate efficacy application leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) membrane donor site on healing, hemostasis, pain control after FGG harvesting. Methods: Twenty-eight adult insufficient attached gingiva underwent soft tissue augmentation using harvested from palate at Department Oral Maxillofacial Surgery, Baskent University, Turkey. Patients were randomized either an L-PRF group or group. In group, was sutured sites, whereas in sites healed by Postoperative evaluations conducted days 1, 3, 5, 7 weeks 2, 4, 6. Donor evaluated clinically pain, burning sensation, bleeding, color match adjacent tissues. areas analyzed digital images. Results: Two excluded analysis loss contact, leaving 26 (n = 13, n 13) analysis. sensation significantly lower compared during first two (p < 0.001).
