Abstract

It has been discovered that human amniotic membrane, have several properties which allow them to be applied in many medical fields, namely in the treatment of superficial wounds and burns. In dentistry, some surgical procedures results the exposure of bone surfaces to the oral cavity that is prone not only to infection but also to scar formation during secondary healing. The proper covering of the exposed periostium or bone surface is often needed to prevent these complications. Therefore, the use of amniotic membrane transplantation, to accelerate oral wound healing in humans, regardless of the genetic background, is promising. Regenerative endodontic procedure aims to provide a continuation of root development. In this field the use of amniotic membranes inside the root canals, after disinfection of the immature nonvital permanent teeth, is a promising method. This chapter will discuss the use of amniotic membranes in several fields of oral medicine.
