Purpose of the study. This study was to evaluate the use of buccal fat pad as an interpositioning material in surgical management of oral sub mucous fibrosis. Materials and methods. A series of 8 cases with proven oral sub mucous fibrosis, with mouth opening less than 20 mm, involving the buccal mucosa were treated surgically in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, College of Dental Surgery, Saveetha University, Chennai. Pedicled buccal fat pad was used as an interpositioning material to cover the raw areas in the oral cavity after incision and release of fibrous bands. Results. In 8 patients, the range of pre operative mouth opening was 3–18 mm (mean 14 mm). As the result of the successful surgical procedure, the size of the intra operative mouth opening was ranged from 25–38 mm (mean 33.25 mm). The patients were discharged 5–7 days after the operation. The range of the mouth opening at this time was 25–36 mm (mean 30.63 mm). The results were evaluated using student's t test and found to be statistically significant. The pedicled grafts took up uneventfull.

The surgical treatment essentially comprises bilateral sectioning of fibrous bands with or without coronoidectomy besides the use of other modalities as nasolabial flaps, 2,3 split skin grafts, 4 transposition of the buccal pad of fat, [5][6][7][8][9] dorsal tongue flap, 9,10 radial forearm flaps, 11 flaps of the temporalis fascia/muscle or both, 10,12 palatal island flaps, 7 and mucosal grafts, 13 to cover the surgical defect.…”

Introduction: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), a chronic debilitating condition of the mouth, has been treated both surgically and non-surgically, but non-surgical methods yield inconsistent results. The surgical methods essentially comprise of bilateral sectioning of fibrous bands with or without coronoidectomy followed by covering of the surgical defect with a graft or a wound dressing material such as collagen sheet.

“…Split thickness grafting after fibrous band release has a high recurrence rate due to graft shrinkage. Other options include palatal island flaps, bilateral tongue flaps3, buccal fat pads, bilateral forearm free flaps14, temporalis pedicled flaps11, superficial temporal fascia flaps11, anterolateral thigh flaps15, collagen sheets3, placental grafts16, and allografts17. Our choice of flap was a nasolabial flap and depended upon the length of the flap required and the severity of the fibrosis involving the commissure.…”

ObjectivesThe objective of the study was to evaluate the results of nasolabial/extended nasolabial flaps as a modality for treatment of oral submucous fibrosis.Materials and MethodsEleven patients of Stage III or IVa maximum interincisal opening were selected to be operated. Nasolabial/extended nasolabial flaps were done for both the sides. All of the flaps were done in a single stage and were inferiorly based. A similar flap harvest/surgical technique was utilized for all the cases.ResultsThe preoperative mouth opening ranged from 5 to 16 mm, with a mean of 10.09 mm. At 6 months the mouth opening ranged from 29 to 39 mm. Some of the complications encountered were poor scar, wisdom tooth traumatising the flap, decreased mouth opening due to non compliance and too much bulk. All of theses were managed satisfactorily.ConclusionThe nasolabial flap is a very reliable flap to restore the function of oral cavity. Important adjuvant measures are habit cessation, lifestyle changes, and aggressive physiotherapy.
