Introduction:
Owing to limitations of various flap procedures for the management of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), we tried to evaluate the outcome of the buccal fat pad (BFP) with collagen membrane as an alternative.
Materials And Methods:
We performed the aforementioned technique on eight patients diagnosed with OSF who underwent management using the BFP with a collagen membrane.
Results:
We observed a significant mean gain in mouth opening of 5.29 ± 2.11 mm and a significant reduction in pain levels by 2.62 ± 1.05. No complication and recurrence were observed till fourmonth followup.
Conclusion:
It can be concluded that the BFP with a collagen membrane could be a viable alternative to other surgical procedures. However, our data should extrapolate with larger studies with longer followup.
