Patient-reported Outcomes of Donor Site Healing Using Different Palatal Protection Techniques

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This study has been initiated to evaluate the question, "What is the best way to protect the palate after a gum graft is removed?" The overall objective is to determine if there is a difference in PROMs of donor site healing using different palatal post-operative protection techniques.
