Lip reconstruction following resection for tumour or following extensive trauma may pose a challenge. This is more so when the resection is total and a complete lip has to be constructed. We present a case of lip reconstruction following a total resection of the upper lip. The procedure used in this case was a combination of bilateral nasolabial flaps with a submental flap and buccal mucosal gr...

Reconstruction after resection of large tumors of the lower lip requires the use of free flaps in order to restore the shape and the function of the lip, with the free radial forearm flap being the most popular. In this study we describe our experience in using the dorsalis pedis free flap as a salvage option in reconstruction of total lower lip defect in a patient with an extended lower lip ca...

For a metric space (K, d) the Banach space Lip(K) consists of all scalar-valued bounded Lipschitz functions on K with the norm ‖f‖L = max(‖f‖∞, L(f)), where L(f) is the Lipschitz constant of f . The closed subspace lip(K) of Lip(K) contains all elements of Lip(K) satisfying the lip-condition lim0<d(x,y)→0 |f(x) − f(y)|/d(x, y) = 0. For K = ([0, 1], | · |), 0 < α < 1, we prove that lip(K) is a p...

BACKGROUND The aims of this study are to evaluate the lip morphology and change of lip commissure after mandibular setback surgery (MSS) for class III patients and analyze association between the amount of mandibular setback and change of lip morphology. METHODS The samples consisted of 14 class III patients treated with MSS using bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy. Lateral cephalogram ...

Solid tumours of the lips and cheek are far from common, and by reason of their peculiar anatomical structure have a greater pathological than clinical interest. Of two cases which have recently come under my notice,, one occurred on the left side of the upper lip of Dr. S., who had complained of it for four years; and the other was in the left cheek, about an inch from the angle of the mouth, ...

The pressures from the lower lip on the lower incisors were measured at the midline between the central incisors and between the left lateral incisor and canine. The measurements were made with the lip at rest and during swallowing of water in 24 boys and 40 girls aged 9-15 years. The children were divided into four groups, two treated with a lip bumper with and without an oral shield, and two ...

The Abbé-Estlander flap surgery is a cross-lip procedure that is valuable in repairing a defect on the lower lip using a full-thickness flap, consisting of the skin, muscle and mucosa, from the upper lip. As usefulness and practicality of the flap in reconstruction of lower lip surgical defects in Asian ethnicity have not been documented, the authors present a case of successful lower lip recon...

PURPOSE To evaluate long-term results in the bilateral cleft lip repair by Mulliken's method, using anthropometric measurements, we assessed the growth of the nose and upper lip after the operation by comparing with those from 30 children without bilateral cleft lip. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-four patients had their bilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity repaired simultaneously by Mulliken...

AIM To examine the prevalence of different types of dental anomalies in children with nonsyndromic cleft lip, unilateral cleft lip-palate, and bilateral cleft lip-palate. MATERIALS AND METHODS A sample of 90 patients (aged 4-20 years) affected by isolated cleft lip, unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate was examined. Cleft patients were classified into one of three groups according to...
