About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if medical grade Manuka Honey works to lower pain and improve healing sites after gum grafting surgery. The main questions are:
* Does medical grade Manuka honey lower pain and painkiller use after gum grafting surgery ? * Does medical grade Manuka honey boost healing after gum grafting surgery ?
Researchers will compare, within the same patient, the results of a surgery with the application of Manuka honey in a retainer to a surgery without the application of honey in the retainer for the healing period.
Participants will:
* Visit the clinic for their first surgery. * Fill up a daily survey to explain their level of pain and the amount of painkiller drugs used. * Visit the clinic once every week for 6 weeks for follow-ups. * Visit the clinic for their second surgery, four weeks after the first one. * Fill up a daily survey to explain their level of pain and the amount of painkiller drugs used after the second surgery. * Visit the clinic once every week for 6 weeks for follow-ups on the second surgery * Fill a survey to compare both surgeries . * Visit the clinic 2 months, 6 months and one year after the surgeries for more follow-ups.
