The Use of Buccal Fat Pad Reconstruction in Oral Submucous Fibrosis
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
An oral fibrosing disease was first described in the year 1952 by Schwartz which was later termed as “Oral Submucucous Fibrosis” by Joshi in the year 1953. The management of this disease can be of two categories: medical and surgical. The buccal fat pad has been an easy and effective method in the surgical management of oral submucous fibrosis and is discussed here. The buccal fat pad is epithelialized within 3 to 4 weeks and hence further skin grafts are not required. The review was done by a web search of case reports in using buccal fat pad for the management of oral submucous fibrosis. Studies suggest that the use of buccal fat pad is a better choice of treatment for managing oral submucous fibrosis. The easy way of use, quick healing and rich vascularity provides better function and aesthetics and thus seems to be an appropriate choice for the surgical treatment of oral submucous fibrosis.
