MethodsReview of the literature regarding oral cavity reconstructions based on main facial artery system flaps. DiscussionThe reconstruction of the soft tissues of the oral cavity, based on facial artery system flaps, offers satisfactory results and allows limited reconstructions avoiding the use of pedicled regional flaps or free flaps.
