“…If a local flap cannot be used, a distant flap can be used, but it is preferable to use a local flap to maintain the shape and function of the lip and mouth corner. 1 In this case, successful results were obtained using the Converse method, which uses the buccal mucosa in the oral cavity.…”

“…Microstomia is caused by congenital growth abnormalities, exposure to electricity or chemicals, direct burns, or complications after reconstruction of the mouth and its corners. 1 Surgical treatment of microstomia is considered when it causes impairment in the size and mobility of the mouth, functional impairments, speech impairments, oral care difficulties, dental treatment difficulties, or poor appearance. 2 In the case of burn-induced microstomia, treatment is not easy because of fibrosis at the burn site.…”

Microstomia is caused by congenital growth abnormalities, exposure to electricity or chemicals, or direct burns. In the case of burn-induced microstomia, treatment is difficult because of fibrosis at the burn site. During dental treatment, buccal retraction is necessary to access the posterior teeth. When performing maxillary sinus augmentation using the lateral approach, sufficient buccal retraction through the buccal vestibule is required. Implant placement with sinus augmentation in patients with burn-induced microstomia caused by is very difficult to treat. Herein, we describe the successful results of simultaneous bilateral sinus augmentation and implant placement along with commissuroplasty and upper-lip reconstruction using mucosal advancement in a patient with burn-induced microstomia.
