Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the clinical effect of photodynamic therapy with nano-emodin on palatal wound healing after free gum graft surgery.
Design
This study will be conducted as a controlled, triple double and parallel clinical trial on 51 patients. after graft harvesting, The patients will be randomly using a computerized block randomization process divided into three groups.
Settings and conduct
The study will be conducted in the Department of Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Patients will be randomly divided into three groups receiving gel containing nano-emodin alone, group receiving gel containing nano-emodin and photodynamic therapy and control (receive placebo without radiation). Patients, clinical examiners and epidemiologists were blind to the study.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients over 18 years of age and systemically healthy that they need free gingival graft with a maximum width of 10 mm and a length of 15 to 25 mm were included in the study. smokers, take medications, or have conditions that interfere with wound healing were excluded from the study.
Intervention groups
After harvesting the graft from the palatal, the patients were divided into three groups, in the two test groups, nano-emodin gel was applied for 5 minutes with and without LED laser radiation to the effect of photodynamic therapy, on the palate wound. In the control group, only placebo gel is used, and in all groups, a surgical dressing is placed on the wound.
Main outcome variables
Investigate the amount of epithelialization by 3% hydrogen peroxide Measurement of the remaining wound area using ImageJ software Measurement color matching with Photoshop using standard photographs The amount of pain based on the VAS scale and the presence or absence of bleeding in the first 11 days after surgery through a questionnaire by the patient

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
After graft harvesting, the patient was randomly assigned into one of the three groups of treatment using a randomization software. Random allocation, patient enrolment, and assignment was done by different clinicians. An epidemiologist who was not aware of the treatment modalities generated the random allocation sequence using a computerized block randomization process.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
To be blind, the examiners were asked to comment only on the final outcome and then their comments were recorded. Statistical analysis was done in three groups A, B and C so that the analyzer is blind to the results. A placebo gel was used in the control group to make the patient blind.
