“…Ophthalmology is probably the medical specialty that first made use of oral grafts. The first published ophthalmic use of oral graft was in 1948, reporting BMG use for eye socket restoration 29 . By the 1980s, multiple reports had described FGG use for diverse purposes, including eyelid reconstruction 15,30 , contracted socket correction 31 , trichiasis and cicatricial entropion, 32,33 and posterior lamellar reconstruction 34 .…”

Focused Clinical Question: Are there any extraoral uses for intraoral soft tissue grafts? Summary: Despite extensive literature on the intraoral uses of soft tissue autografts harvested from oral sites, the periodontal literature is lacking information on the extraoral uses of such grafts. The purpose of this article is to review the autologous use of certain oral soft tissue grafts for extraoral indications. A literature search revealed that several medical specialties, including otolaryngology, ophthalmology, dermatology, plastic surgery, and urology, have a track record of positive outcomes with the use of free gingival, buccal fat pad, and buccal mucosa grafts for a wide variety of reconstructive procedures at diverse body sites. Conclusions: The numerous successful extraoral uses of oral soft tissue autografts underscore the versatility of these tissues in reconstructive surgery and suggest there is potential for collaboration between periodontal and medical specialists for the benefit of patients in need of such reconstructions. Broader awareness of these applications of oral soft tissue grafts could help expand their current uses and would allow practitioners to better answer possible patient inquiries.

“…To achieve an ideal socket for fitting of prosthesis, various graft materials like conjunctiva (Vastine et al, 1982), mucous membrane (Bowen Jones and Nunes, 2002;Greear, 1948;Karesh and Putterman, 1988;Molgat et al, 1993;Klein et al, 2000;Lee, 2002), hard palate; mucosa (Sullivan and Dailey, 2003;Holck et al, 1999) skin (Betharia et al, 1990), muscle flaps (Liu et al, 1996), temporalis fascia El-Khatib, 2000;Neuhaus and Shorr, 1983), dermis fat graft (Przybyla, 1981;Shore et al, 1985), polytetrafluroethylene (Levin and Dutton, 1990) etc have been tried. Though skin conjunctival and mucous membrane graft have been used successfully in mild to moderate contracted socket, they have inherent disadvantages of foul smelling discharge, increased morbidity to the patient and shrinkage, which may alter final outcome of the surgery.…”
