O corpo adiposo da bochecha é uma massa tubular de gordura localizado no espaço bucal, entre os músculos masseter e o bucinador, auxiliando nos processos de sucção e mastigação, além de desempenhar uma função protetora de algumas estruturas da face. Devido à sua rica vascularização, tamanho semelhante em todos os indivíduos, fácil acesso e pequena taxa de complicações, é usado para vários fins terapêuticos. Neste artigo é relatado um caso clínico no qual o corpo adiposo de bichat é utilizado em uma reconstrução orbitária para dar volume ao conteúdo orbitário.Descritores: Tecido Adiposo; Corpo Adiposo; Cirurgia Bucal.ReferênciasShoja MM, Tubbs RS, Loukas M, Shokouhi G, Ardalan MR.

Abstract Background Pedicled buccal fat pad (PBFP) has been used for the reconstruction of small-sized maxillary defects but cannot be used without hard tissue support on the defect larger than 4 cm × 4 cm × 3 cm. Case presentation A 64-year-old man had a history of squamous cell carcinoma of the left maxilla. After removal of the posterior maxilla, a complex bone defect (size, 5 cm × 4 cm × 3 cm) was immediately reconstructed using PBFP combined with a titanium mesh. A pinpoint fistula was found in the left palatal region 1 month after the surgery and was treated with a palatal sliding flap. There were no further complications during the follow-up. Conclusion The present technique demonstrated that PBFP combined with a titanium mesh could be used for the reconstruction of complex maxillary defect (size, 5 cm × 4 cm × 3 cm) without additional bone graft.

Background of the study: Oro-antral communication is a complication associated with extraction of maxillary posterior teeth, surgeries of the maxillary sinus or pathologies associated with the sinus or the posterior maxilla. Such abnormal communications need to be repaired at the earliest, to maintain oral and nasal complex harmony and to prevent undue complications thereafter. These communications can be repaired by various methods, one of those being buccal fat pad pedicled graft technique which will be clinically evaluated and critically discussed in this paper. The pre-operative, immediate and post-operative measures followed, the eligibility criteria chosen and the duration of follow up period will formulate the outline for the study. A careful assessment of the criteria, clinical signs and healing is noted, to establish the outcome of the technique. Aim: The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the effectiveness of buccal fat pad pedicled graft technique for closure of Oro-antral communications. The purpose of choosing this method is easy availability of the graft near to the recipient site, ease of technique for the surgeon, reliable technique and predictable outcome of the treatment. The effectiveness of the procedure and its predictability, in comparison to other methods is dealt in detail below. Methods: An observational study to evaluate the effectiveness of a surgical technique to repair oro-antral communications wherein the pedicled buccal fat pad is used as a graft material. 20 patients with OAC, who were presented to the department of Oral & Maxillofacial surgery, VS Dental College & Hospital, Bangalore were recruited for the study. The clinical study was conducted in accordance with the protocol and the results were evaluated on the basis of patient’s comfort towards the procedure, ease of the technique, healing time, post-operative complications and recurrence rate of the communication. The details of the technique and a review of the previous studies published were discussed in detail, to form a relevant summary. Results: The technique was found to be more effective and convenient to both the patient and operator, owing to its ease of performing, minimal risk of complications from the grafted site and the harvest site and predictable healing. Conclusions: The technique is easiest among the various methods recommended so far, pertaining to the procedure and predictability. Although, the training and experience of a skilled operator is equally important in achieving the best results.

Abstract Myxoma is a benign tumor that arises from mesenchymal tissue and is found less commonly in the bone than in soft tissue. The majority of bony myxomas occur in the jaws. When compared with other odontogenic tumors, myxoma of the jaws is a rare entity. Numerous types of treatment have been used for these tumors including simple curettage, enucleation, curettage with peripheral ostectomy, and en bloc resection with or without immediate reconstruction. The buccal fat pad (BFP) is a lobulated mass of fatty tissue in the oromaxillofacial region, which has long been a source of grafts in facial augmentation. A case of an odontogenic myxoma in the left maxillary molar area of a 34-year-old female that was treated by curettage and peripheral ostectomy is presented. The surgical defect was successfully repaired with a pedicled BFP flap. Citation Öğütcen-Toller M, Şener I, Kasap V, Çakir-Özkan N.

Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BROJ) has been described since 2003 as an adverse effect of bisphosphonate medications. These drugs act on the vasculature and bone remodeling, mainly on osteoclastic activity and can cause areas of necrotic bone exposure. Treatment for the BROJ is not yet defined, but surgical treatment is one of the forms proposed, which may cause oral deformities like sinus communication in some cases. In situations like this the buccal fat pad is an important alternative for coating nasal-oral communications, due its large blood supply, elasticity, absence of restriction by age and safety. This paper presents the case of a 58-year-old woman with BROJ in the left maxilla caused by the use of zoledronic acid for metastatic breast cancer. The extensive necrotic bone area was surgically removed resulting in oral sinus communication. A buccal fat pad was used to cover the defect. More studies should be performed regarding the treatment of BROJ but, if necessary, a buccal fat pad flap could be an alternative to solve nasal-oral communications related to BROJ.
