Tissue-Engineered Oral Mucosa Grafts for Intraoral Lining Reconstruction of the Maxilla and Mandible With a Fibula Flap

Tissue engineering represents an alternative method by which to obtain sufficient autologous tissue for reconstructing mucosal oral defects. The full-thickness engineered autologous oral mucosa offers definite advantages in terms of reconstruction planning, donor site morbidity, and quality of the intraoral soft tissue reconstruction, thereby restoring native tissue and avoiding peri-implant tissue complications.
