What is Alloderm?
AlloDerm is a sterile human connective tissue matrix that contains no blood and no cells. Therefore, there is no risk of rejection or potential for disease transmission. This tissue has been in medicine and dentistry for over ten years. Dr. Hughes is now using AlloDerm rather than harvesting tissue from the patient's palate for most soft tisse grafting procedures, thus making gingival grafting free of palatal complications and more comfortable for the patient.
