“…Vascular trauma causing massive hemorrhage has not been reported in the literature to our knowledge. The blood supply to the buccal fat pad comes from branches of the internal maxillary, superficial temporal, and facial arteries [7]. In this patient, deep dissection or a vascular avulsion injury from traction on the buccal fat pad likely led to severe deep buccal space bleeding supplied by branches of the internal maxillary artery.…”

“…Initially surgeons aimed at surgical elimination of the fibrotic bands which showed further scar formation and reoccurrence of trismus; hence, to prevent scar, they started using various interpositional graft material. 24 Use of island palatal flap has limitation, such as its involvement with fibrosis and second molar tooth extraction is required for flap to cover without tension. 25 Bilateral palatal flaps leave a large raw area on palatal bones.…”

“…Extraction of third molar tooth is required to avoid flap inclination between teeth. 24,[30][31][32][33] Buccal fat pad by virtue of its anatomic position and the ease with which it can be accessed and mobilized without causing any noticeable defect in the cheek or mouth was felt to be a reliable interposition material. The procedure, considering the anatomic proximity of the donor and the recipient site, is not a prolonged one.…”

Background and objectives: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic progressive premalignant condition, characterized by gradual trismus of mouth. The study was done to compare the efficacy of buccal fat pad (BFP) and collagen membrane as an interpositional material in surgical management of OSMF and also (1) to assess and compare the mouth opening achieved in both groups of patient; (2) the improvement in flexibility of buccal mucosa in both groups; (3) oral pain and burning sensation on intake of spicy food; (4) the rapidity in epithelialization of graft at the intraoral wound site.

“…To prevent them, there is a need to perform proper disinfection and administer antibiotics as well as reduce tension using tensionless suture with the surrounding tissues to improve blood supply 3,10,17 . Furthermore, Amin et al 8 recommended using a cover or an oral closing device using acrylic resin (Obturator) to prevent stimulation and distortion of the operated area. In our cases, operations were performed in aseptic state and under general anesthesia, and tissues were sutured with minimizing tension.…”

(J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2012;38:116-20) The buccal fat pad is specialized fat tissue located anterior to the masseter muscle and deep to the buccinator muscle. Possessing a central body and four processes it provides separation allowing gliding motion between muscles, protects the neurovascular bundles from injuries, and maintains facial convexity. Because of its many advantageous functions, the use of the buccal fat pad during oral and maxillofacial procedures is promoted for the reconstruction of defects secondary to tumor resection, and those defects resulting from oroantral fistula caused by dento-alveolar surgery or trauma. We used the pedicled buccal fat pad in the reconstruction of intraoral defects such as oroantral fistula, maxillary posterior bone loss, or defects resulting from tumor resection. Epithelization of the fat tissue began 1 week after the surgery and demonstrated stable healing without complications over a long-term period. Thus, we highly recommend the use of this procedure.
