Question · asked by 1 review
Buccal fat pad graft vs Extended nasolabial flap: Maximal mouth opening (interincisal distance)
- Population
- People of any age with a confirmed diagnosis, by clinical examination and biopsy, of oral submucous fibrosis (OSF)
- Intervention
- Buccal fat pad graft
- Comparison
- Extended nasolabial flap
- Outcome
- Maximal mouth opening (interincisal distance)
It is very uncertain whether buccal fat pad graft changes maximal mouth opening (interincisal distance) compared with extended nasolabial flap (very low certainty).

How reviews are matched to this question
Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
