AbstractIn many cases of carcinoma of the floor of mouth, oncologic resection includes marginal mandibulectomy. Reconstruction poses a significant challenge. Requirements include coverage with thin but supple tissue to allow for dental implant or denture, and recreation of a mobile tongue and sensate floor of mouth gutter. Reconstructive efforts have ranged from skin grafts to free flaps, with variable success in fulfilling the above-mentioned requirements.This paper describes the preferred technique of the author, in which external mandibular periosteum is saved and elevated with a submucosal flap of lower lip, raised to the level of the vermilion border. This flap is then advanced to ventral tongue. In this manner the entire anterior floor of mouth can be reconstructed.Cases are presented demonstrating different aspects to the technique.

Cleft lip and/or cleft palate defects often result in a functional deficiency in the patient’s chewing, speech ability, and aesthetic appearance, usually demanding multidisciplinary effort for addressing the aesthetic and functional patient’s requirements. This clinical report describes the planned oral rehabilitation of a 46-year-old woman with unilateral cleft lip defect based on the patient’s peculiarities and age. Due to limitations concerning bone grafts and implant procedures, as well as orthodontic treatment, the prosthodontic rehabilitation using the metal-ceramic fixed partial denture was chosen. The treatment adequately reestablished the aesthetic and functional activities, positively impacting the patient’s quality of life.

The close resemblance of squamous papilloma with verrucous carcinoma and the chief etiological factor associated with its development, the human papillomavirus (HPV) raises a doubt about its close association with malignancy. The best way to treat HPV growths is surgical removal and assessment of lesion by histopathology. The defect needs reconstruction with full function and aesthetic outlook. Thirty-seven years old young man with history of tobacco chewing developed slow growing papilloma in upper lip in one year. It was excised fully and the defect was repaired by arterialized lip vermilion mucosal flap based on slightly tortuous labial vessel and so the flap could be elastically stretched even up to fifty percent of lip length and applied successfully. Same patient developed papilloma in lower lip as a separate primary after two years of nonrecurrence of previous operated upper lip papilloma. Lower lip lesion was excised similarly and repaired with same type of vermilion mucosal advancement flap from adjacent part of lower lip defect created. The post-operative period was uneventful and after three years of last operation there is no recurrence in either lip. Vermilion flap which is based on labial artery containing composite tissue comprising of mucosa and portion of orbicularis muscle mainly has been utilized to reconstruct the post excision papilloma lip defect with excellent functional and aesthetic results. There was no microstomia. It is single stage not involving donor site like tongue or cheek mucosa and is good upto half of lower lip defects.
