Grafting of the buccal fat pad was performed in combination with lyophilized porcine dermis in six cases of palatal defects. The use of lyophilized porcine dermis not only simplified the surgical procedure but also permitted a proper prosthetic rehabilitation. This technique proved to have more advantages for palatal defects.
