Abstract
Objective- this study was conducted to assess the efcacy of buccal fat pad and collagen in surgical management of oral submucous brosis. Study design- the study was conducted on 20 patients with reduced mouth opening due to oral submucous brosis (khanna and andrade classication grade 3 and 4 a), randomly divided into 2 groups. In one group, buccal fat pad was harvested and in other group, only wet bovine collagen sheet was applied as surgical dressing in the intra-oral wound after brotomy. Patencyof both as dressing material were compared. Conclusion- buccal fat pad as an autogenous graft has advantage of better vascular supply, minimum donor site morbidity, better strength and resilience during healing phase. Xenogenic collagen has better availability, no donor site morbidity, ease of application and better coverage of the surgical wound
