✦ Synopsis

Split-thickness skin graft reconstruction following intraoral cancer surgery maintains functional mobility within the oral cavity and gives excellent support for the final intraoral rehabilitative prosthesis. We describe the use of a dental material, called tissue conditioner, for skin graft immobilization as an alternative to the usual gauze bolus and thermoplastic materials following surgery in various intraoral anatomic sites.
