Reconstruction of oral mucosal defect with Oven Dried Human Amniotic Membrane graft: A case report

Abstract

A case of premalignant lesion- leukoplakia of the left buccal mucosa, was excised and defect was reconstructed with human amniotic membrane graft. We evaluated the effectiveness of HAM as a grafting material for the reconstruction of oral mucosal defect after surgical excision of leukoplakia. After 4 weeks of grafting procedure, mucosal defect was restored successfully without any complications. Keywords: Leukoplakia; Buccal mucosal defect; Human amniotic membrane.
