title: Random Pattern Vertically Oriented, Partial Thickness Buccinator Myomucosal Flap for Intraoral Reconstruction:A Report of Two Cases.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Reconstruction of the oral cavity with a flap design containing the buccal mucosa and buccinator muscle but excluding the facial artery and vein is the topic of these case reports.
  
  
  METHODS
  This article uses random pattern vertically oriented partial thickness buccinator myomucosal flap for intraoral reconstruction in two cases. The first was for lining the mandibular anterior vestibule in a trauma patient. The second was for oral side coverage of bone graft in special cleft patient. In both patients, this flap survived and good bone coverage with non-keratinized mucosa was obtained.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Thin long buccal myomucosal flap not including facial artery and vein can survive.
