    AbstractThe galeal-temporal flap consists of galeal aponeurosis and superficial temporal fascia. The goal of this experiment is the testing of the use of the galeal-temporal flap in reconstruction of defects of the maxillo-facial region and establishing of indications for the use of this flap. Over the period from 1989 to 1992 at the Department of Maxillo-Facial Surgery within the School of Dentistry, University of Belgrade, 15 galeal-temporal flaps in 14 patients who agreed with this reconstruction, were performed. The youngest patient was 21 years old, and the oldest 72 years. Of 15 used flaps in 12 patients it was completely taken (80%). Epithelization of the galea in the oral cavity was clinically verified between 9 and 14 days. Indications for the use of galeal-temporal flap in maxillo-facial surgery were as pollows: large intraoral defects, full thickness cheek defects, craniofacial deformities and scalp defects involving external bone previously treated by radiation, as the basis for the free skin graft.
