Abstract
Suction cap-induced palatal perforation is uncommon today. In the surgical management of such a complication, the surgeon should consider the large bony defect hidden behind the small slit in the palatal mucosa. In this article a case is presented,in which a combination of anteriorly based inferior turbinate flap and posteriorly based palatal submucosal flap solved the problem properly. The advantages of this technique are two-layer closure and predictability of the technique.Entities:
