title: Immediate vestibuloplasty with fenestrated and intact full-thickness mucosal grafts.
abstract: Intact and fenestrated full-thickness palatal mucosal grafts were placed following immediate vestibuloplasty in ten dogs of mixed breed. Macrscopic and microscopic findings indicated that the fenestrated grafts were as effective as the intact grafts in long-term maintenance of bestibular depth.
