Soft tissue in the mouth (or other body cavity) is surgically released by an incision to free up the tension of the tissue. To prevent premature reattachment of the tissue after separation, a wound dressing is applied to the surgical site followed by application of a substance, malleable during application, that provides a dressing fixture over the wound dressing in an area of the surgical site that is to remain separated. The substance adheres to the area of application and at least partially hardens within a short period of time, then remains in place while the surgical site heals. The dressing fixture may be cyanoacrylate.
