“…The tie-over technique using a bolster is the most popular method for immobilizing intraoral skin grafts. Bolsters such as a parachute stent, eye patch, gauze, sutures, silicone, foam rudder pads, and vinyl polysiloxane have been reported [2][3][4][5][6]. The bolster technique using gauze is the most widely used for STSG because of the ready availability and low cost of the materials.…”

A simple sandwich technique using buttons to compress grafted tissue combined with a tie-over technique for intraoral split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs) is introduced. This technique yielded an excellent engraftment rate (90.5%) and no instances of total graft failure were recorded. This simple sandwich technique for STSGs is readily applicable and inexpensive, and the present results show that it would be potentially useful for repair of defects in the oral cavity.

“…The sandwich technique is one such ancillary technique that can be used in combination with the tie-over technique to immobilize skin in the wound bed. Sandwich techniques using a parachute stent, eye patch, gauze, sutures, silicone, foam rudder pads, and vinyl polysiloxane have been reported [2][3][4][5][6].…”

“…In the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, skin grafts are commonly used to cover the defect of the vascularized free flap donor site before prosthetic surgery, repair the exposed raw surface after intraoral mass excision, and cover the defect after mass excision in the head and neck area or in the management of trauma. [14][15][16][17] Reconstruction of the shallow vestibule with full (FTSG) or split-thickness skin grafts (STSG) with vestibuloplasty is reported to be a reliable method for vestibular lengthening and placement of mandibular endosseous implants in preparation for mandibular implantsupported overdentures. [18][19][20][21] According to the literature, both grafts offer stable and convenient options for rebuilding peri-implant soft tissue in selected patients with compromised atrophic ridges.…”

“…Different from other organs, an intraoral wound has some disadvantages in skin engraftment due to constant mobility of the oral structure, uneven wound bed, and accumulation of saliva between grafted skin and wound bed [ 6 ]. To overcome these disadvantages, various methods have been tried to secure intraoral skin graft for immobilization [ 7 – 9 ]. Many types of stents, such as simple cotton ball, resin molds, and foam pad have been used in a tie-over bolster technique to anchor the graft to the wound bed [ 10 ].…”

BackgroundSkin engraftment of intraoral defects is known to be inconsistent due to mobility of the oral structure, uneven wounds, and accumulation of saliva under the skin graft. To improve the success rate of oral skin graft, we proposed a novel and simple dressing technique for intraoral skin graft to control saliva accumulation, in comparison with the conventional bolster dressing.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 31 patients reconstructed with skin graft in their intraoral defect. The patients were divided into two groups; conventional bolster group (n = 21) and modified bolster group (n = 10). In the modified bolster group, a polyvinyl alcohol sponge was designed to fit the skin graft and a suction drain was inserted with tagging suture to apply continuous suction. We analyzed the success rate, the size of the skin grafts and clinical variables of each method.ResultsThe overall success rate of oral skin graft was not different between the two groups (90.0 and 90.5%). However, partial necrosis in the engrafted skin was observed frequently in the control group (57.1% versus 20.0%). The relative engrafted area was significantly higher in the modified bolster group (55.0 ± 11.6% versus 23.0 ± 18.7%, p = 0.015). The duration of bolster dressing and the time to start an oral diet were shorter in the modified bolster group.ConclusionsOur modified method could be easily applied for removing saliva accumulation under a skin graft and for enhancing skin engraftment of an oral cavity wound.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s40463-018-0314-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
