Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Well-chosen purpose of the work. Collected extensive material for comparison. Review gives readers good insight into the effectiveness of facial artery-supplied flap reconstruction for filling intraoral defects. The results are described in great detail. A schematic representation of both compared flaps would be good to include as a figure in this study.

Thank you for your comment, we hope you are happy with the reviews. In the Review there are already many tables and figures so we didn't want to make the paper too heavy.
Reviewer 2 Report
This is a good and interesting paper,however I propose some minor revision before publication:
1,I do not recommend any abbreviation in the titel.
2,In Table 1.we find all the necessary data. It is therefore not required to go into detail of the individual studies in the Results chapter. Table 1 is sufficient.
3, On the other hand, an additional table may be necessary detailing the size of the defects, the anatomical regions (e.g. the palate, floor of the mouth etc.), and the complications.
4, The text that appears in rows 338-341 would be better placed in the Results chapter.
Following the revision mentioned above, I recommend the manuscript for publication.
