3: (a) Oral Gel applied to the receiving bed, on the side right. The gel was applied over the entire length of the graft and was not washed out; (b) Grafted region on the side between 44 and 45, 10 days post op. Mild presence of inflammation and keratinisation of the graft epithelium can be seen.
4: (a) Application of Oral Gel in the donor region on the right side of the palate; (b) Fresh application at the donor site on the right side, three days after surgery.

5: (a) Appearance of the palate after harvesting the gingival graft. (b) blue®m Oral Gel consistency and texture.
6: Donor areas of the palate after three days, beginning of reepithelialisation, being more apparent in the area on the right side, FFF where the Oral Gel was used exhibiting advanced healing.
Conclusion The reported clinical case suggests that the Oral Gel optimises the process of tissue healing at the donor (palate) and at the recipient site (root cover areas). However, further clinical research should be carried out to affirm its therapeutic benefits.
