Human amniotic membrane has been used for various types of reconstructive surgical procedures since the early 1900s. In surgery, amniotic membrane can be used as a foundation material for soft tissue re-growth, or as a natural biological dressing at the surgical site. Presently, amniotic membrane is experiencing wide spread use in the area of ophthalmic (eye) surgery, and is showing great promise in the area of dentistry.
