Reconstruction of the oral commissure is necessary after trauma, pathological resection, or electrical, chemical, or thermal burns. Using dental appliances is strongly recommended to prevent microstomia in victims with oral commissure injury caused by burns. These appliances can be modified from dynamic to static for more patient comfort during the healing period and used in trauma patients to prevent rounding of the labial commissure. Preventing relapse of microstomia and forming acute angles at the corner of the mouth are 2 optimal goals when performing this surgery.

Traditional flap transfer leads to fibrous orientation inconsistency with the remaining OO. Therefore, the aim of this study is to share the experience of combining local flaps with depressor anguli oris (DAO) transfer for lower lip reconstruction and OO sphincter function restoration.
