Abstract:
The Buccal Fat Pad (BFP) has been increasingly employed in the reconstruction of intra-oral defects since the procedure was first described by Egyedi. Although the use of BFP for closure of oro-antral communications has been reported in literature, it is either not a common practice or is under reported in India. This article describes predictive results with 2 cases of chronic oro-antral fistula using pedicled BFP.
