“…Most studies that present this technique show the advantages of using the buccal fat pad, emphasizing the tissue elasticity that allows covering medium size defects, its large blood supply and soft tissue support allowing a fast epithelialization and the safety of technique when well indicated and performed by an experienced surgeon (13,16,20).…”

“…What for many years had been considered only as a limited facial structure and surgical disorder (15) is now considered a useful structure for covering defects in the palatal region or oral mucosa, closure of oronasal problems, covering of bone grafting surfaces and post-traumatic defects reconstruction. The main advantages of using pedicled buccal fat pad are its great blood supply, elasticity, absence of restriction by age and safety (16). This paper pesents an unusual treatment of BROJ in a female patient treated by surgical procedure using a buccal fat pad where the bone defect caused by the necrotic osteotomy resulted in oral-sinus communication.…”

Surgical Treatment of Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws with the Use of Buccal Fat Pad: Case Report

et al. 2015

Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BROJ) has been described since 2003 as an adverse effect of bisphosphonate medications. These drugs act on the vasculature and bone remodeling, mainly on osteoclastic activity and can cause areas of necrotic bone exposure. Treatment for the BROJ is not yet defined, but surgical treatment is one of the forms proposed, which may cause oral deformities like sinus communication in some cases. In situations like this the buccal fat pad is an important alternative for coating nasal-oral communications, due its large blood supply, elasticity, absence of restriction by age and safety. This paper presents the case of a 58-year-old woman with BROJ in the left maxilla caused by the use of zoledronic acid for metastatic breast cancer. The extensive necrotic bone area was surgically removed resulting in oral sinus communication. A buccal fat pad was used to cover the defect. More studies should be performed regarding the treatment of BROJ but, if necessary, a buccal fat pad flap could be an alternative to solve nasal-oral communications related to BROJ.

“…Su volumen y tamaño son usualmente estables durante toda la vida. Este proceso bucal es libre y por ende puede ser extraído fácilmente a través de una incisión intraoral (30). Por dichas características este proceso bucal es el utilizado en el manejo de las COA-FOA, aunque cabe destacar que también se ha utilizado el proceso del cuerpo y temporal para el manejo del relleno de la ATM (33).…”

ResumenEl manejo convencional de las comunicaciones oroantrales ha sido a través de técnicas quirúrgicas locales que a través del tiempo aun siguen vigentes para el manejo primario de dicha complicación. La mejoría del conocimiento de la anatomía detallada de la región maxilofacial ha introducido nuevas técnicas con el objetivo de mejorar e incluso tener nuevos alcances con respecto al manejo de las comunicación y fistula oro antrales que con las técnicas clásicas no se lograban. Esta revisión de tema muestra cada una de las opciones disponibles para el manejo de las comunicaciones y fistulas oro antrales con sus indicaciones, técnica quirúrgica y complicaciones.Palabras clave: Comunicación oroantral, fistula oroantral, colgajo local. LOCAL AND PEDICULATED FLAPS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF OROAN-TRAL COMMUNICATIONS AND FISTULAS SummaryThe conventional management of oroantral communications has been performed through local surgical techniques which over time are still in vigor for the primary management of that complication. The improvement in the understanding of the maxillofacial region detailed anatomy has leaded to the introduction of new techniques with the aim of improving and even obtaining new achievements regarding the management of oroantral communication and fistulas which were not accomplished with the classical techniques. This subject review shows each one of the available options for the management of oroantral communications and fistulas with their indications, surgical techniques and complications.
