“…The presence of this CD146-contaminated population, as well as the presence of CD34 cells, might be due to the highly enriched blood vessel supply in BFP [ 72 ]. This could be related to the excellent wound-healing properties of BFP as a pedicled graft in oral surgery for treatment of oroantral communications [ 55 , 73 ], maxillary defects [ 51 ], oral submucous fibrosis [ 74 ], and vocal cord defects [ 75 ].…”

Adipose tissues hold great promise in bone tissue engineering since they are available in large quantities as a waste material. The buccal fat pad (BFP) is a specialized adipose tissue that is easy to harvest and contains a rich blood supply, and its harvesting causes low complications for patients. This review focuses on the characteristics and osteogenic capability of stem cells derived from BFP as a valuable cell source for bone tissue engineering. An electronic search was performed on all in vitro and in vivo studies that used stem cells from BFP for the purpose of bone tissue engineering from 2010 until 2016. This review was organized according to the PRISMA statement. Adipose-derived stem cells derived from BFP (BFPSCs) were compared with adipose tissues from other parts of the body (AdSCs). Moreover, the osteogenic capability of dedifferentiated fat cells (DFAT) derived from BFP (BFP-DFAT) has been reported in comparison with BFPSCs. BFP is an easily accessible source of stem cells that can be obtained via the oral cavity without injury to the external body surface. Comparing BFPSCs with AdSCs indicated similar cell yield, morphology, and multilineage differentiation. However, BFPSCs proliferate faster and are more prone to producing colonies than AdSCs.

“…Other application for the BFP includes TMJ reconstruction, where a minimal gap of 6–7 mm is recommended for the arthroplasty [82-88], upper-lip profile improvement after maxillary advancement surgery by Le Fort I osteotomy [89], skull-base defect repair after tumor resection [90], prevention of Frey syndrome after parotid surgery [91, 92], repair of the maxillary sinus membrane after dental implant [93, 94], vocal cord augmentation [95], and reconstruction of facial contour deformity even after facial trauma [96-98]. …”

Objective: The buccal fat pad (BFP) has been progressively introduced into clinical practice for oral defect reconstruction. This study describes our experience with this technique and compares indications in the literature and outcomes. Methods: We prospectively enrolled 24 patients presenting oral surgical defects and treated between January 2012 and January 2015 at our institution. They all were eligible for BFP defect reconstruction. A comprehensive literature review was performed from 1977 onwards and surgical indications and results were compared. Results: All 24 BFP procedures showed excellent recovery and uneventful follow-up. Literature review confirmed a global success rate of 96.2% for a reported number of 1,635 patients with multiple surgical indications. BFP showed very low morbidity and failure rates in accordance with the outcomes reported in the literature, and the high patient compliance together with the easy harvesting of this surgical technique make it a good reconstructive option in cases of small-to-medium size oral defects in patients with a high rate of comorbidities or as salvage/second option. Conclusion: The BFP is worthy of consideration for the reconstruction of selected mouth defects, due to its easy mobilization, excellent blood supply, and minimal donor-site morbidity, where shape and size represent its main limitations, and a defect’s location influences its pliability.

“…BFPs have been used primarily as alternative adipose donor sites for vocal cord augmentation. In a study of 10 patients with glottal closure deficiencies, BFPs were harvested, trimmed into 1‐mm 3 cubes, and injected into vocal cords 21 . Most recently, BFPs have also been used for treatment of defects after removal of laryngeal cancers and neoglottal closure 28 (Fig.…”

“…11,12 Despite the voluminous literature on the intraoral uses of these orally harvested soft tissue autografts, [2][3][4][5][6]13 the periodontal literature is lacking information on the possible uses of these grafts in several medical specialties, such as otolaryngology, 14 ophthalmology, 15 dermatology, 16 plastic surgery, 17 and urology. 18 Treatment of defects in such disparate body areas as the nose, 19 eyelids, 20 vocal cords, 21 nail bed, 22 and urethra 23 using intraoral soft tissue autografts represents another bridge, albeit a very different one from periodontal medicine, between mouth and body health. The purpose of this article is to review the use of oral soft tissue grafts, specifically FGGs, BFPs, and buccal mucosa grafts (BMGs), for extraoral indications.…”

Focused Clinical Question: Are there any extraoral uses for intraoral soft tissue grafts? Summary: Despite extensive literature on the intraoral uses of soft tissue autografts harvested from oral sites, the periodontal literature is lacking information on the extraoral uses of such grafts. The purpose of this article is to review the autologous use of certain oral soft tissue grafts for extraoral indications. A literature search revealed that several medical specialties, including otolaryngology, ophthalmology, dermatology, plastic surgery, and urology, have a track record of positive outcomes with the use of free gingival, buccal fat pad, and buccal mucosa grafts for a wide variety of reconstructive procedures at diverse body sites. Conclusions: The numerous successful extraoral uses of oral soft tissue autografts underscore the versatility of these tissues in reconstructive surgery and suggest there is potential for collaboration between periodontal and medical specialists for the benefit of patients in need of such reconstructions. Broader awareness of these applications of oral soft tissue grafts could help expand their current uses and would allow practitioners to better answer possible patient inquiries.

Abstract: Except in one patient, no postoperative complications such as swelling or infection followed either harvesting or injection. After injection, phonation showed notable improvement that was maintained throughout follow-up.
