Popis: A canine full-thickness oral mucosal equivalent (FTOME) was produced in vitro and used in intraoral grafting. The FTOME consisted of an autologous stratified epithelial surface layer overlying an acellular bilaminar collagenous matrix. The material was grafted on the periosteum of deepithelialized edentulous alveolar ridges in dogs. Biopsies of the grafted FTOME showed that the epithelium remained viable, migrated over the surrounding tissue, and aided in wound healing.
