Reconstruction of Partial Thickness Post Traumatic Lip Defect With Modified Webster Flap: A Case Report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Soft tissue trauma, especially with tissue loss, requires reconstruction methods that provide tensionless closure without compromising on the esthetics. Over the years a vast number of local flaps have been described for reconstruction of the upper lip. We describe a case report of management of traumatic tissue loss involving the upper lip with a modification of Webster flap.
