Abstract:
Background: Because the roots of the maxillary posterior
teeth are close to the antral cavity, there may be a
relationship between oral and antral cavities during the
extraction of maxillary posterior teeth, excision of cyst tumors
in the maxillary region, resulting from maxillofacial trauma or
implant treatment. If this relationship is not closed, oroantral
fistula may occur with symptoms such as pain, bad taste and
smell, changes in sound, and food coming out of the nose.
Various techniques have been described in the literature
for the closure of oroantral relationship. One of these is the
“buccal fat pad graft” described by Egyedi in 1977.
In this case series study, we reported our experience with
the buccal fat pad graft technique, the advantages and
disadvantages of the technique, and the complications
encountered after the procedure.
Patıents and Methods: 4 patients with root fracture displaced
to maxillary sinus during the extraction, 2 patients with
residual cyst that close the antral cavity and 2 patients who
applied to our clinic after tooth extraction at different centers
with advanced oroantral fistula.
Conclusion: Normal healing was observed in all 8 patients
and none oroantral fistula occured recurrence. Buccal fat
tissue flap is a simple, fast and effective oroantral fistula
closure method that can be preferred instead of buccal flap
in which the height of buccal sulcus is reduced or palatal flap
made by secondary healing.
