Abstract

Background

Oral and maxillofacial surgery deals with wide range of oral defects, wound closure, tissue resection, and tissue reconstruction. The purpose of our study is to use amniotic membrane for closure of post surgery defect in patient of oral submucous fibrosis to utilize its growth factor and scaffold nature for effective healing and to evaluate effectiveness of amniotic membrane in treatment outcome. The objectives are to compare post-operative mouth opening, healing of amniotic membrane and buccal fat pad.

Material and Method

Diagnosed patients with OSMF are divided into two surgical site Group I (n = 5patients)—Left side buccal mucosa in which resection of fibrous band with coronoidectomy followed by reconstruction of the mucosal defect with BFP. Group II—Right side buccal mucosa in which resection of fibrous band with coronoidectomy followed by reconstruction of the mucosal defect with freeze dried irradiated amniotic membrane.

Result

This study suggested that in comparison to buccal fat pad flap, the HAM graft is a better option for oral reconstruction in terms of infection, graft failure, MMO, inflammation, pain. Outcome indicated that the HAM is biologically ideal graft for oral wounds and could be used as clinical alternative for various repair surgery for oral defects.

Conclusion

The amniotic membrane was found easy to handle and easy to use with inherent hemostatic property which is observed in all patients. No patients had shown any evidence of any complications. Good pain control observed in patients throughout postoperative period.
