MEBO Bio-Dressing on Patient-Reported Outcomes and Tissue Healing Following Rotary Gingival Depigmentation

Conditions: Gingival Hyperpigmentation, Oral Health-Related Quality of Life, Wound Healing

Sex: All

Ages: 18 Years – 50 Years

Healthy volunteers: No

Phase: NA

Enrollment: 66

Sponsor: Cairo University

Summary

The purpose of this randomized, single-blind, parallel-group clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Moist Exposed Burn Ointment (MEBO) as a biological topical dressing compared to open secondary healing (no dressing) following rotary gingival depigmentation in adult patients. The study aims to investigate whether the application of MEBO reduces postoperative pain intensity, decreases rescue analgesic reliance, accelerates soft-tissue wound healing, and improves oral health-related quality of life over a 1-month follow-up period.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Systemically healthy adult patients aged 18 to 50 years. * Presence of bilateral, symmetrical physiological gingival hyperpigmentation (Dummett Oral Pigmentation Index score \>= 2) requiring esthetic treatment. * Good oral hygiene status (Plaque Index \
