    COMPARISON OF DISCOMFORT IN THE PALATAL DONOR AREA AFTER FREE GINGIVAL GRAFT WITH THREE DIFFERENT PAIN SCALES
    (2025) Kızıltoprak, Mehmet; Uslu, Mustafa Özay
    He aim of this study was to evaluate the pain experienced by patients after free gingival graft (FGG) surgery using three different pain scales – the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and the Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) – and to compare the effectiveness of these scales in pain assessment. Thirty-six individuals aged between 18 and 53 years, comprising 27 females (75%) and 9 males (25%), were included in the study. A single researcher assessed the pain of the participants using the different scales on the 3rd day, 7th day, 14th day, and the 1st month after FGG surgery. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 22 (IBM SPSS, Turkey). Positive, high- level, and statistically significant correlations were observed among the three scales (p<0.05). Additionally, the age of the patients correlated significantly with VAS/NRS scores on the 14th day, and with the VRS score on the 7th day (p<0.05). Our findings suggest that VAS, NRS, and VRS scales can all be used for pain assessment after FGG surgery, although VAS may offer an advantage in scientific studies due to its wide evaluation range and the ability to utilize parametric data.

    Effects of Peri-implant Mucosal Characteristics on Clinical Peri-implant Parameters: A Retrospective Study
    (2023) Bozkurt, Esra; Uslu, Mustafa Özay
    Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of peri-implant keratinized mucosa (KM) width and thickness on peri-implant soft tissue health in functionally loaded implants and evaluate the factors affecting peri-implant health. Materials and Methods: A total of 645 implants from 169 patients were evaluated in this study. The duration of the implant follow- up ranged from 12 months to 46 months. Clinical measurements such as plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), KM width, mucosal phenotype (MP), and buccal mucosal recession (MR) of peri-implant sites were performed. Peri-implant mucosa was classified as healthy, peri-implant mucositis, and peri-implantitis. Results: It was determined that the thickness and width of the KM around the implant did not affect the peri-implant soft tissue health and PI, GI, and BOP scores. PD was found to be significantly lower in peri-implant regions with KM width <2 mm and thin MP. CAL was found to be significantly higher in peri-implant regions with KM width <2 mm and thin MP. Significantly less buccal MR was detected in peri-implant regions with KM width ?2 mm and thick MP. The peri-implant regions treated with the overdenture were significantly less healthy. Conclusions: It was determined that the CM width and thickness around the implant did not have a significant effect on soft tissue health in patients who could achieve plaque control. It is important to provide sufficient KM width and thickness in the peri-implant soft tissue, especially in esthetic areas.
