“…To consider this as a success, the criteria that was taken into account was the complete epithelialisation of the graft [6]. The rich vascularity may explain the high success rate with this flap [7,8]. The technique is simple.…”

Introduction The use of buccal fat pad as a grafting source in the closure of intraoral defects has gained popularity in the last quarter of this century. Because of the ease of access and rich blood supply, its use in oral defects is an attractive concept. Methodology The study comprised of 8 patients with oral submucous fibrosis, 1 patient with oroantral fistula, 1 patient with verrucous hyperplasia. The acquired oral defects following resection of pathology in the oral cavity, were reconstructed with pedicled buccal fat pad. The Post operative follow up at the intervals of 1st, 7th and 15th day, followed by 1st month, 2nd month and 3rd month was done.Results The procedure was successful in all the patients. Healing was satisfactory with no breakdown or liquefaction necrosis post operatively. All the patients had definitive colour change at the end of 1st post operative month owing to the epithelialisation. Residual defect was present in one patient diagnosed of verrucous hyperplasia on the 1st and the 7th post operative day which subsequently healed. In 8 patients with oral submucous fibrosis post operative mouth opening was measured in and was observed to be in the range of 12-26 mm on the 1st post operative day and 34-42 mm during 3rd month post operatively. Conclusion The results of this study support the view that the use of buccal fat pad is a simple, convenient and reliable method for the reconstruction of small to medium sized intra oral defects.

“…The temporal extension passes upwards below the zygomatic arch, and comprises deep and superficial portions. Buccal fat pad has rich plexus of blood vessels from branches of maxillary (buccal and deep temporal branches), superficial temporal (transverse facial) and facial arteries (small branches), which allow it to be used as axial-pattern pedicled flap [3,5].…”

“…Its appearance is distinct from subcutaneous fat and resembles orbital fat in both form and function [1,2]. First mentioned by Heister in 1732 and described in 1801 by famous French anatomist Xavier Bichat and referred to in medical literature as the ''boule de Bichat'' [1,3]. Buccal fat pad is a supple and lobulated mass, easily accessible and mobilized, located between the buccinator muscle and the mandibular ramus, separating the masticatory muscles from each other and often considered to be a nuisance when encountered in intra-oral procedures such as facial bone osteotomies, elevation of buccal flap or procedure on Stenson's duct [4].…”

The use of buccal fat pad as a graft for intraoral defects is an uncommonly reported procedure but, it has been frequently used for closure of oro-antral and oro-nasal communications. Buccal fat pad was used to reconstruct 3 medium sized defects due to tumoral resection and oroantral communication. It was used as an unlined pedicled graft. Three cases are discussed along with anatomical aspect of the buccal fat pad. The findings support the view that the buccal fat pad is versatile, logical, convenient, and reliable method for the reconstruction of oral defects up to 4-5 cm in diameter and it healed within 4-5 weeks.
