“…The average weight of each fat pad is around 9.3 gm and its average volume is 9.6 ml [7]. The size of the buccal pad of fat is fairly constant among different individuals regardless of the overall body weight and fat distribution [2].…”

“…It is being used as pedicled graft in facial augmentation procedures, repair of persistent oro-antral fistulae after dental extractions, treatment of oral submucous fibrosis [4,12] reconstruction of medium sized maxillectomy defects from premolar to tuberosity region, and repair of defects of soft and hard palate [12], cheek mucosa, retromolar trigone [13], tonsillar defects [2]. It can also be used in combination with temporalis flap for larger defects.…”

“…Scammon was the first to describe the anatomy, followed by Goughran [7]. A detailed review is based on series of cadaveric dissections done by Stuzin et al The buccal fat pad is a rounded and biconvex structure, surrounded by a slight capsule and located inside both masticatory spaces [2]. Buccal fat pad rests on periosteum that covers the posterior aspect of maxilla and is bounded by buccinator muscle medially, masseter muscle and mandibular ramus medially, and lateral pterygoid muscle superiorly [8].…”

“…It is a mass of specialized adipose tissue able to enhance intermuscular motion of cheek, thus termed ''syssarcosis'' and is important in facial contour. 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].…”

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.

“…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.
