Özet: Buccal fat pad is much underutilized graft in oral and maxillofacial surgeries. Although, it has been recognized in early seventeenth century, but its use in different conditions as a graft was popularized after mid eighteenth. This article encompasses various aspects of buccal fat pad including its anatomy, development, clinical significance and uses as a graft in much reconstructive procedures in oral and maxillofacial surgery cases e.g. Oroantral fistula, oral sub-mucous fibrosis, resections, reconstructions cases.
