Comparison of Using Palatal and Lingual Flaps to Repair Acquired Medium to Large-Size Hard Palate Defects Based on a Grid Palatal Horizontal Plane Palatal Defect Classification System

Both PRFs and aTFs are effective for reconstructing acquired medium to large-sized hard palate defects based on the grid palatal horizontal plane palatal defect classification system. However, aTFs offer advantages for larger defects, with a lower incidence of postoperative complications.

Abstract

Both PRFs and aTFs are effective for reconstructing acquired medium to large-sized hard palate defects based on the grid palatal horizontal plane palatal defect classification system. However, aTFs offer advantages for larger defects, with a lower incidence of postoperative complications.
