Abstract
The buccal mucosa is an effevtive and versatile intraoral grafting material. For adequate reconst ruction of avulsed lip, restoration of natural appearance and adequate lip function should be done. We treated avulsed upper lip defect which had been affected underlying orbicularis oris muscle as well as vermilion border. We chose cheek mucosa for upper lip reconstruction and performed surgical correction of avulsed upper lip with pedicled buccal mucosal flap. The result was very good because of its superior color and texture matching to remaining yermilion tissue.
