Background and Objectives: Periodontal dressings are routinely used following periodontal surgical procedures and several studies have shown that it results in more plaque accumulation and hence pronounced inflammation immediate post-surgically; which delay the healing of the tissues. Also the bulky periodontal dressing can result in considerable patient discomfort. The aim of the study was to compare the early wound healing events and patient comfort following periodontal flap surgery with and without a dressing. Materials and Methods: A total number of fifteen patients indicated for periodontal flap surgery was randomly allotted to dressing or non-dressing group and a split mouth study design was followed. Assessment of early wound healing done by swelling of soft tissue & the colour of gingiva, volumetric measurement ofGCF and patient VAS questionnaire. Results:Ahigher trend for mean pain scores and swelling of face was reported by the patients in the dressing group compared to non- dressing group. Clinical evaluation revealed more pronounced swelling and colour changes of the gingiva in patients with dressing. Also, the mean percentage increase of GCF flow was found to be higher with the same. Conclusion: Based on the results of our study, we can conclude that periodontal dressing results in more inflammation immediate post-surgically which may in turn delay the wound healing response as compared to patients with a dressing.
