“…Oronasal communication is a rare accident that can occur during oral surgery procedures as exodontia of superior incisors and canines, odontectomies of impacted tooth in premaxilla area, apical tooth resection, tumour extirpation or cystectomy [1]. It can also appear as a complication due to trauma, gunshot injuries, syphilitic gumma, Caldwell-Luc procedure, radiation therapy, orthognathic surgery, cleft palate repair, and cocaine consumption [2][3][4][5].…”

(1) Background: Oronasal communication is described in the scientific literature as a common complication that occurs after a cleft palate surgery. In some cases, it can also be a consequence of oral surgery procedures; the main problem of this type of rare accident is related to the correct healing process and treatment option. (2) Case report: A patient with oronasal communication caused by an unsuccessful attempt of a superior canine odontectomy presented at the Emergency Department of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Hospital, Timișoara. The case management is described from the first consult to one-year follow-up. We consider that this pathology was optimally treated surgically, and the results are more than satisfactory, taking into consideration the high rates of recurrence. (3) Conclusion: This case report can be a useful to a general dentist who is trying to decide whether to perform the canine odontectomy or refer to a specialist surgeon due to the accidents and complications of this procedure.

Oronasal fistulas can occur as a complication and sometimes they are refractory to the adequate surgical interventions. Two patients of oronasal fistula were presented. The first one developed as a complication of nasal septal surgery. Following 2 failed operative closure, a custom-made silicone obturator resulted unexpectedly as the cure for the problem in this patient. Experience gained from this patient was utilized in the second presented patient by simply insertion of a tailored silicone obturator after elevation of the nasal lining under local anesthesia to the oronasal fistula transorally allowed closure without any formal surgical intervention. Silicone obturator application may be employed for curative treatment of the oronasal fistulas avoiding complex surgical treatments.
