Abstract
A discussion has been presented and examples provided to illustrate some of the complications that may be encountered in conjunction with free grafts of masticatory mucosa. The clinical problems presented are seen infrequently, but the clinician must be aware of the possibility of their occurrence when counseling patients on the possible sequelae of such surgical procedures. A knowledge of complications that may occur in free soft tissue grafting procedures, and of the underlying mechanisms causing these problems, may aid the clinician in anticipating and avoiding similar experiences.Keywords
