Abstract
- Soft tissue expansion is widely used technique in oral & maxillofacial reconstruction and provide new method of reconstruction in posttraumatic alopecia, post burn, wide scar, congenital deformity, benign tumor, tattoo, etc. Expanded tissue flaps have the advantage of increased vascularity, proximity to the defect, and similarity of color and texture. They also preclude the need to advance flaps from distant sites. Tissue expansion can be used to form a well vascularized cavity to accomodate and nourish bone grafts. The following report describes the uses of tissue expanders by allowing bone grafting to correct both soft and bony defects of mandibular region.
