Primary Outcome Measures:

Visible signs of inflammation scored on a scale of 1 to 4 by three (3) blinded investigators. [ Time Frame: Three (3) and seven (7) days postoperatively ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment:	17
Study Start Date:	February 2008
Study Completion Date:	May 2009
Primary Completion Date:	May 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1 Conventional postoperative care and instructions on dental hygiene will be provided along with the TOWE treatment which consists of the patient dispensing TOWE into a disposable dental tray and placing the dental tray over the dental arch and covering the surgical site 3 times daily for a period of 7 days. At three (3) days and seven (7) days postoperatively, photographs will be taken of all vertical releasing incisions (before suture removal).	Device: OroScience Topical Oral Wound Emulsion TOWE will be applied 3 times daily for a period of 7 days by the patient dispensing TOWE into a disposable dental tray and placing the dental tray over the dental arch and covering the surgical site.
No Intervention: 2 Conventional postoperative care and instructions on dental hygiene.
