Among the anatomical spaces in the head and neck area, the buccal space has often been studied in dental/oral surgery and cosmetic surgery because it contains the facial vessels, mandibular and facial nerves, and adipose tissue called the buccal fat pad. In addition, as the space can communicate with other spaces, it can be significant in infections. Although the anatomy of the buccal space has been reported in several studies, there have been discrepancies concerning its boundaries, and its communications have often been overlooked. The aim of this review is to examine the anatomy of buccal space including its boundaries, contents, continuity with adjacent spaces, and clinical significance. A literature review was performed on Google Scholar and PubMed. The literature has depicted the anterior, medial, and lateral boundaries more or less consistently, but descriptions of the posterior, superior, and inferior borders are controversial. The buccal space includes the facial arteries, veins, facial nerves, parotid duct, and lymph nodes, which can be described differently depending on definitions and the extent of the space. As it communicates with other anatomical spaces including the masticatory space, it can be a reservoir and a channel for infections and tumors. Buccal fat pads have various clinical applications, from a candidate for flap reconstruction to a target for removal for cosmetic purposes. This review will help understand the anatomy of the buccal space including its boundaries, residing structures, and communication with other spaces from surgical and radiological perspectives.
