title: [The upper buccal vestibule in clefts].
abstract: The buccal vestibule is described and its physiologic interest with respect to the position of alveolar processes emphasized, the latter being compromised by the cleft and its repair. The need for its restitution to ensure function of good quality implies the use of a total skin graft before school age for cases of total bilateral clefts.
