Buccal mucosa graft is usually used in a second operation. A buccal mucosa graft from the lower lip was used for large fistula reconstruction in one patients. The patient previously had been operated on several times at another center. The use of the buccal mucosa graft for urethral reconstruction in complex urethroplasties is a successful method with a low incidence of complications.

The buccal mucosa is the site with the highest risk of contracting a malignancy in habitual betel quid chewers who expose the buccal mucosa to high doses of carcinogens. Of all oral cancers, those of the buccal mucosa are associated with the poorest prognoses. Therefore, it would be helpful to have an animal model to evaluate new treatment modalities for buccal mucosa cancer. In the present stu...

Objective: We present our experience of buccal mucosa substitution urethroplasty in all segments the Anterior urethra, as mucosal graft (BMG) is now recognized tissue choice for single-stage reconstruction bulbar urethral strictures. Patients and methods: Twenty-five patients underwent BMG at center between January 2015 2019: 18 a dorsal on lay (pendulous, bulbous), 2 ventral onlay (1 pendulous...

The aim of the letter to editor is to provide some comments regarding the manuscript of DehghanNezhad et al.(1) recently published in the Iranian Journal of Pathology titled “Micronucleus Assay of Buccal Mucosa Cells in Waterpipe (Hookah) Smokers: A Cytologic Study.” In this article, the authors were able to detect high frequencies of micronucleus in buccal mucosa cells of waterpipe smokers whe...

Intraoral lipomas are benign and relatively rare tumors, although they occur with higher frequencies in other areas, most especially the back, abdomen and shoulders of adults. They have no gender predilection and predominantly affect the buccal mucosa. This paper describes a case of intramuscular (infiltrating) lipoma on the buccal mucosa of a 60-year old male which is relatively rare when comp...

Comparison of Nucleus and Cytoplasm Diameter Buccal Mucosa Cells in Cigarette Smokers Nonsmokers: A Cytomorphometric Study using Feulgen Papanicolaou Stains

ABSTRACT: Within the oral mucosal cavity, the buccal region offers an attractive route of administration for systemic drug delivery. The mucosa has a rich blood supply and it is relatively permeable. It is the objective of this article to review buccal drug delivery by discussing the structure and environment of the oral mucosa and the experimental methods used in assessing buccal drug permeati...

Background and aim: Increased rate of micronucleus in buccal mucosa cells and its correlation with carcinogenesis is worth consideration. Recently, occupation in dental laboratories has been proposed as a predisposing factor. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of occupational exposure on buccal mucosa cells of dental laboratory technicians. Materials and methods: This ...
