Re-epithelization |
Donor site re-epithelization: hydrogen-peroxide is applied to the donor area with the help of an injector, and it is recorded as complete when no foaming occurs |

Oral health impact profile (OHIP-14) |
The patients are asked to fill provided OHIP-14 forms Questionnaire about satisfaction related to oral health, scored as 0-4 (never - always) 14 questions in total 0 (min.) - 56 (max.) Lower scores represent higher oral health related life quality |

Secondary |
Paresthesia / hyperesthesia in the donor site |
The patient marks the visual analogue scale (0-10) after rubbing the donor site with a periodontal probe (to give a reference, symmetrical area is rubbed first) 0 - Paresthesia / hyperesthesia, 10 - no sensation difference with the reference area |
