Intraoral application of hyperdry amniotic membrane to surgically exposed bone surface

Comparative Evaluation of Coronally Advanced Flap with Platelet-rich Fibrin vs Amniotic Membrane for the Treatment of Gingival Recession

“…The results indicate that the amniotic membrane is a useful dressing material not only for soft tissue wounds, but also for exposed bone in the oral cavity. 19 Oro nasal fistulas are a frequent complication after cleft palate surgery. Use of the amniotic membrane has been successful for oro nasal fistula repair and use of the multilayer technique and protective plate utilization prevent membrane ruptures.…”

Comparison of the wound healing efficacy of polyglycolic acid sheets with fibrin glue and gelatin sponge dressings in a rat cranial periosteal defect model

“…These procedures include vestibuloplasty for preprosthetic treatments and resection of broad mucosal lesions in the gingival and alveolar areas [28]. When removal of the periosteum is required, adequately dressing the bone surface may be problematic.…”

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

“…It adhered well to the irregular wound surface and adapted well to the wound surface, which resulted in less postoperative scarring. 19 It has also previously been used on the bony surfaces of mastoid cavities, and could be an alternative to temporalis fascia grafts in revision surgery in the ear. 16 These studies suggested that it is a useful material, particularly for covering exposed wounds with a bony surface.…”

“…[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.…”
