Abstract
Anterior palatal fistulae immediately behind the incisor teeth may be difficult to repair. A modification of Millard's island palatal flap is described which can be advanced to close these defects--a "tadpole flap". This method of closure has been successfully used in 11 patients. The technique is described.Entities:
