The aim was to compare the gingival tissue response following placement of a light cure dressing (Barricaid ® ) and a non-eugenol periodontal dressing (Coe-Pak ™ ) after periodontal flap procedure. This was carried out by evaluating plaque deposition underneath both the dressings, healing response and the patient preference for each.
