Reconstruction of the oral commissure
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, and Oral Pathology
|August 1, 1986
Abstract:
A technical refinement for oral commissure reconstruction is presented. The oral commissure has an important role in oral sphincteric function. We use a combination of local skin flaps for soft tissue reconstruction and a pedicled tongue flap for intraoral lining, with satisfactory results. A case involving a large mucosal ulcer around the oral commissure, in which the excisional defect was repaired by this method, is presented.
