Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical use of amnion as a biodegradable graft material for lower anterior ridge vestibuloplasty. STUDY DESIGN: Ten patients who had been referred for preprosthetic surgery underwent mandibular anterior ridge vestibuloplasty using Clark's technique and amniotic membrane as a graft material. Preoperative vestibular depth was measured. Fresh amniotic membrane was placed in the surgical site and sutured with 4-0 vicryl. In all ten cases suction catheter stent was used and was secured in the depth of the vestibule by using 1-0 mersilk percutaneous sutures. RESULTS: Vestibular depths were measured using a divider and a scale. Post operative measurements were taken at the end of 10th day, 1st month and 3rd month. And an average gain of 4-6 mm in the depth of the labial vestibule was noted. CONCLUSION: Amniotic membrane can be a favorable graft material for vestibuloplasty, promoting healing and preventing relapse. It is easily available and preserved and a cost effective material.
