autoplastic graft

Similar to the free gingival graft, the SECT graft can be described as a free autogenous graft.

Autologous grafts are used to transfer tissue from one site to another on the same body.

The use of autologous grafts prevents transplantation rejection reactions.

Other than tissue shortage, donor site morbidity is a common problem that may occur when using autologous grafts.

Common approaches for replacing damaged oral mucosa are the use of autologous grafts and cultured epithelial sheets.

A negative aspect of autologous grafts is that an additional surgical site is required, in effect adding another potential location for post-operative pain and complications.

Involuted RICH may leave behind atrophic tissue, which can be reconstructed with autologous grafts.

When the rhinoplasty requires a bone graft, it is harvested from either the cranium, the hips, or the rib cage; moreover, when neither type of autologous graft is available, a synthetic graft (nasal implant) is used to augment the nasal bridge.
