Abstract (original English)

The purpose of this article is to provide the rationale for the use of pedicled buccal fat pad grafts as an adjunct to the reconstruction of palatal or dentoalveolar clefts in cases when healing by secondary intention may need to be considered and integrated into the initial treatment plan because of the size of the defect or qualitative or quantitative tissue constraints. Four representative cases are presented in which a pedicled buccal fat graft was adjunctively used in conjunction with pedicled mucosal flaps to gain closure of large oroantral or oronasal cleft deformity.

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • • Without an adequate control group, treatment effects cannot be separated from other factors.

Evidence level

Early human evidence such as case series or small samples is exploring possible benefits.
