Introduction: An oroantral fistula is by definition 'An abnormal communication between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus.'
Aim Of The Study: The aim of this study is to describe the acute and chronic OAFs and to evaluate the efficiency of the modified palatal flaps with tissue bridge in the closure of both acute and chronic OAFs of small to medium size.
Methodology: The study sample was derived from a population of patients from January 2013 to 2018 with the complaint of pain and discharge through the socket.
Result: The results of this series support the view that the use of modified palatal flap with tissue bridge is a reliable flap for the repair of both acute and chronic oroantral fistulae.
Conclusion: The ease of mobilization, superior blood supply and minimal donor site morbidity make it an ideal flap and a reliable alternative when other techniques fail.

To explore the application of modified Von Langenbeck cleft palate repair with tension-free mucoperiosteal flap near the nasal cavity and without relaxation incision, and the cleft palate defect was repaired by covering both sides of the edge of the in situ mucoperiosteal flap. This treatment method provides a good aesthetic restoration effect. Modified Von Langenbeck cleft palate repair with mucoperiosteal flap near the nasal cavity without tension and relaxation incision was used to repair the cleft palate.

Background: The submental artery island flap (SIF) is a valid option for palatal reconstruction. However, the main limitation for its application for palatal defects is the arc of rotation. A novel modification for tunneling of the antegrade design of SIF that allows a compliant easy reach to the defect is described.

Background: Depression is the most common psychological phenomenon among caregivers of children with Cleft Lip and/or Palate and affects the quality of life, treatment satisfaction, children's self-esteem and parent-child relationship. However, Existing studies have limited explanations for the mechanisms that lead to depression in caregivers of children with Cleft Lip and/or Palate. The present study aimed to identify factors influencing depression among caregivers of children with Cleft Lip and/or Palate and to provide a reference point and new ideas for future research.

J Vis Exp

Hypertrophic scarring (HTS) is an abnormal process of wound healing that results in excessive scar tissue formation. Over the past decade, we have demonstrated that mechanotransduction-the conversion of mechanical stimuli into cellular responses-drives excessive fibrotic scar healing. A mouse model to assess human-like hypertrophic scarring would be an essential tool for examining various therapeutics and their ability to reduce scarring and improve healing.
