Abstract
Oral myomucosal defects most commonly result from the extirpation of malignant neoplasms. Due to advancements in regenerative medicine technologies coupled with a greater scientific understanding of the potential of autogenous tissues (i.e., grafts, and flaps), today oral and maxillofacial surgeons have access to more robust reconstructive techniques that aim to maximize function while minimizing morbidity.
Learning Objectives
- Review the biology of oral mucosa as it relates to reconstructive surgery
- Review evidence-based outcomes for the reconstruction of post-ablative myomucosal defects utilizing grafts and flaps
- Provide an overview of biological matrices that are utilized in cutaneous and mucosal reconstruction
- Introduce the potential of stem-cell laden biological matrices in tongue reconstruction
