Clinical Trial Summary

This clinical study aims to investigate the impact of a topical hyaluronic acid (HA) gel on postoperative pain and wound healing at palatal donor sites in patients undergoing mucogingival procedures involving a de-epithelialized gingival graft (DGG) from the palate. The study design is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, clinical trial, conducted in a single center, with 30 subjects aged 18-70 years.

Secondary	Pain assessment	Pain will be assessed via Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at Baseline, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 42 days after surgery. A line of 10 cm will be used in which at the left end of the line will have a verbal anchor stating "No pain" and on the other end the verbal anchor of "The most intense pain that I ever felt". The subjects will place a mark on the line and the distance from the beginning of the line up to the mark will be measured and recorded.	Baseline
