Solvent-dehydrated fascia lata allograft for covering intraoral defects: Our experience

Abstract

Mucosal defects in the oral cavity as a result of tumors, preprosthetic surgical procedure, or trauma are always a concern for surgeons. The aim of this study is to present our experience and discuss the advantages and problems arising with the use of solvent-dried human fascia lata allografts in oral mucosal defects, thus evaluating its clinical efficacy. Sixteen intraoral lesions were removed from 15 patients. The rehabilitation of the mucosal defects was achieved using solvent-dehydrated human fascia lata allografts. No graft rejection or infections were detected. The material was effective for enhancing the hemostasis, relieving the pain, and inducing rapid epithelization. The final result was excellent, even though in 2 cases complications were experienced. Hence, the use of the material proved to be reliable, practical, and safe.
