“…Liu et al (2006), showing good results when was used in small or big oncologic resection Another research, show same results in big reconstruction of the palatomaxillary area (Sun et al, 2009). In post-traumatic deformity, titanium mesh is a good strategy to maintain the facial contouring (Arcuri et al, 2012).…”

Maxillary reconstruction is a common procedure in maxillofacial surgery; for this purpose is used autogenous bone, alloplastic bone or another one with different results. In all of them, traditionally the use of computed tomography is used to make the surgical plan, however, 3D models are not used frequently. This report show a new application of the stereolithography to anticipate the surgical treatment of maxillary reconstruction, using a titanium mesh and rhBMP-2 to obtain a predictable surgical result with diminished surgical time.

“…The literature collect intra and postoperative complications related to oroantral communication closure using the buccal fat pad ( 4 , 6 , 12 , 15 , 17 - 19 ). Although infection is mentioned as a potential complication, analysis of the reported cases proved that only three cases have been described (0.82%).…”

Purpose: To report the closure of oroantral communications with the pedicled buccal fat pad in a series of patients, and to determine the level of patient satisfaction after the surgery. Study Design: A prospective study of patients diagnosed of unilateral or bilateral oroantral communication (OAC) closed using the buccal fat pad between May 2012 and January 2013 was performed. Data analysis extended to: age, sex, and cause, location and size of oroantral communication. Complications and success related to buccal fat pad surgery were evaluated. Also, patient satisfaction was assessed after six months of surgery. Results: Nine patients (3 men and 6 women) with a mean age of 50.5 years and 11 OAC treated with buccal fat pads were included. The most common cause of oroantral communication was the extraction of molars. The average widest diameter of the oroantral communication was 7.1 mm. One week after the surgeries no complications were found. One month after surgery, one patient presented persistence of the oroantral communication; in this patient, the buccal fat pad technique was considered a failure, and a second intervention was performed using a buccal mucoperiosteal flap to achieve primary closure of soft tissues. After six months, patient showed closure of the communication and complete healing. All the other communications had been solved with Bichat´s ball technique, yielding a success rate of 90.9%. Mean patient overall satisfaction was 9.1 out of 10; patients were satisfied with phonetics (9.4), aesthetics (9) and chewing (9). Conclusions: The buccal fat pad technique was successful in closing 10 out of 11 oroantral communications and few complications were found. Patients were highly satisfied in overall with the treatment and with phonetics, aesthetics and chewing. Key words:Bichat’s fat pad, buccal fat pad, oroantral communication.

“…The use of BFP in the reconstruction of defects is highly successful; however, some complications have been reported [7,8,29,41,[44][45][46][47][48].…”

“…Different complications following application of the BFP have been reported. Although the complications are usually rare, it is a fact that it could be partial or complete loss of flap, limitation in mouth opening [44], hematoma, hemorrhage [45], postoperative infection [29,47], and depressed cheek [8,29,46]. If a clinician harvests a large amount of the BFP for reconstruction purpose, the cheek may be depressed.…”

The buccal fat pad "FP has become more and more popular in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Originally, it was described as an anatomic structure without any obvious function it was even considered to be a surgical nuisance. Nowadays, the most reported application of the "FP is the closure of oroantral communications. In this chapter, different aspects of the "FP such as its applications, anatomy, physiology, and complications are explained.
