Versatility of the Buccal Fat Pad (BFP) Graft in the Surgical Management of Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF)-A 6-Year Follow-up.

The surgical procedures for the management of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) vary, which include the excision of fibrous bands with the use of grafts or flaps. Flaps that are being widely used include tongue flaps, buccal fat pad (BFP), greater palatine pedicle flaps, nasolabial flaps, anterolateral thigh flap, radial forearm flap, and temporalis fascia flap. This case with grade III OSMF is being planned for reconstruction with the BFP graft after surgical resection of fibrotic bands, temporalis muscle myotomy, and bilateral coronoidectomy.

Outcome Assessment of Three Different Methods of Root-end Preparation and Filling Materials in Endodontic Surgery: A Comparative Clinical Prospective Study.

Introduction: The technique of endodontic surgery had evolved tremendously in the recent years with introduction of new instruments and materials.

Aim: This study aims to compare the clinical outcome of endodontic microsurgery using three different techniques with three different root-end filling materials for 16 months.

Materials And Methods: A total of 45 maxillary incisors indicated for root-end surgery were selected for the study.
