Abstract
Background
The overall purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the effectiveness of bovine-derived collagen in surgical oral mucosal defects.
Patients and methods
The study model included thirty-two patients who underwent surgery for benign and malignant lesions of oral cavity in the Indira Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute, Puducherry, India—from 2012 to 2018. The surgical oral mucosal defects had been reconstructed with a commercially available bovine-derived type I collagen [Surgicoll-Mesh, 0.5 mm thick] membrane. The clinical effectiveness of this collagen membrane was evaluated using parameters like haemostasis, pain, epithelialisation, granulation tissue formation and mouth opening as the functional test parameter.
Results
The clinical outcome results documented proved that the bovine-derived collagen membrane showed excellent significant results with respect to haemostasis, pain relief, epithelialisation and granulation tissue formation.
