Clinical Application of a Hyperdry Amniotic Membrane on Surgical Defects of the Oral Mucosa

Use of hyperdry amniotic membrane in operations for cleft palate: a study in rats

“…Our results have shown that the membrane was a useful material for grafting in the oral cavity, and we found no abnormal reactions. 18 We also reported its use as a surgical dressing for use on bony raw surfaces in the oral cavity. It adhered well to the irregular wound surface and adapted well to the wound surface, which resulted in less postoperative scarring.…”

“…[15][16][17] We previously reported its use in the oral cavity as a wound dressing after oral procedures, and concluded that it could be used for covering secondary mucosal defects. 18,19 In the present study we have examined its effect on reducing the inhibition of growth and development of the maxilla after repair of cleft palate in rats.…”

Efficacy of human amniotic membrane and collagen in maxillofacial soft tissue defects – A comparative clinical study

“…Amniotic membranes, as described by Atiyeh et al, preserve a healthy excised wound bed; maintain a low bacterial count in contaminated wounds; decrease loss of protein, electrolytes, fluids, and energy; reduce the risk of infections; avoid bulky dressings; minimize pain; and accelerate epithelial regeneration [18]. The application of this membrane has shown promising results when used as a wound dressing material intra-orally on tongue and buccal mucosa [19]. Adds et al examined fresh membranes obtained by elective caesarean section and normal vaginal deliveries.…”

Human Amniotic Membrane: Hope in Periodontal Regeneration

“…The results suggested that it is biologically acceptable to oral wounds and could be a suitable clinical alternative for the repair of the oral mucosa. [27] The graft of amniotic membrane is a viable and reliable method to cover the exposed periosteum as they serve as a good alternative to mucosal and skin grafts. [3] …”
