“…Also, when amnion was not used, one saw a significant amount of wound contracture. Lawson suggested that amnion enhanced re-epithelialization of the oral cavity and reduced the contracture effects in moderate-sized defects [2].…”

“…The membrane, especially the epithelium, also produces various growth factors including basic fibroblast growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, and transforming growth factor. They aid in neoangiogenesis [2].…”

“…In their study of blood flow to the amniotic grafts with two different surgical techniques, there was a rapid increase in blood flow during the first 10 days, whereas palatal grafts have shown a reduction in blood flow during the same period. They stated that the angiogenic function of the amnion occurred within the first 10-15 days and blood flow returned to normal by 30 days after surgery [2].…”

“…The use of amnion in vestibuloplasty has only been once reported by Guler et al, who concentrated on studying the blood flow to the graft [2]. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical use of amnion as a biodegradable graft material for lower anterior ridge vestibuloplasty.…”

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.

Human amniotic membrane (AM) has been used widely as graft biomaterial for a variety of clinical applications. But, there are some persistent problems related to the preparation, storage, and sterilization. To resolve these problems, we developed hyperdry AM (HD-AM) using far-infrared rays, depression of air, and microwaves and then sterilized by γ-ray irradiation. To elucidate the benefit of HD-AM as biological materials, compare with the physical and histological properties of HD-AM with a freeze-dried AM (FD-AM) as typical freeze-dried methods, evaluate the safety of HD-AM in vivo experiment used nude mice, and demonstrate the feasibility of HD-AM transplant in pterygium. The water permeability and the sieving coefficient of HD-AM were significantly lower than that of FD-AM. HD-AM has kept the morphological structure of epithelium and connective tissues. At 18 months after transplanted, single and multilayers of HD-AM in the intraperitoneal cavity was degraded without any infiltrated cells. For clinical treatment, recurrence of pterygium and regrowth of the subconjunctival fibrosis were not observed during the 6-month follow-up periods after the surgery. It was proposed that HD-AM was a safe and effective new biological material for clinical use including treatment for recurrent pterygium.
