New way of closure of upper jaw defects [Новый способ замещения дефектов верхней челюсти]

Article describes new original way of one-stage closure of upper jaw defects by using cutaneous-adiposal flap. The method is patented (patent of the Russian Federation for invention No. 2489096). We propose to use cutaneous-adiposal flap, mobilized in nasolabial furrow area, with axial pattern blood supply from angular artery and vein, by rotating to defect through buccal tonnel. This method allows to reliably eliminate upper jaw defect, improve functional and aesthetic results of treatment with minimal injuries caused by operation. Objective is to introduce new way of closure of upper jaw defects. © 2021 Psychological Science and Education All rights reserved.
