Abstract

A case of oral carcinoma associated with extensive leukoplakia and severe xerostomia is presented. The advantage of using a free jejunal patch graft to restore large intra-oral mucosal defects and concurrently eradicate xerostomia is demonstrated. Further, it is recommended that a tracheostomy be used routinely in such cases to avoid postoperative aspiration of the graft secretions. Following healing the use of osseointegrated implants can complete oral rehabilitation without compromising the graft.
