Split-thickness skin graft for treatment of oral benign mucous membrane pemphigoid. Report of a case.

Abstract

The painful oral lesions of benign mucous membrane pemphigoid often make the wearing of complete dentures difficult or impossible. A mandibular split-thickness skin graft vestibuloplasty was performed on a patient with benign mucous membrane pemphigoid. This procedure may be indicated in those cases which do not respond to meticulous denture construction and steroid therapy.
