Alloderm gum graft feels squishy, is this normal?

Yes.. but...: First of all i hope your alloderm (dermal allograft on ur gums) is not placed on the surface of ur gum.. Like an onlay graft. And i hope it is completely covered by a layer of ur own gum tissue.. If that is the case, then it iis normal..Use of alloderm as an onlay graft (like free gingival graft) is not recommended, due to high risk of detachment from perioteal bed at recepiant site. (slaughing).

Vascular in growth: The squishy feeling is the initial period of fluid adsorption into the material. This is a normal process.
