Collagen Membrane: A Viable Option for Oral Soft Tissue Defects—A Case Series

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Timely intervention during the predysplastic or dysplastic stages of red and white lesions is crucial for preventing their progression to oral carcinoma. Following surgical removal, a soft tissue deficit area is created. Surgical excision of these lesions often leads to a mucosal defect. These residual defects can be concealed with skin grafts, mucosal grafts, or xenografts. In this paper, we describe collagen sheets as an excellent reconstruction option, particularly after the loss of soft tissue due to resection of red and white lesions with histologically verified dysplastic features.
