“…The flap may also result in a very shallow vestibular sulcus, which can interfere with prosthodontic rehabilitation and maintenance of oral hygiene. Although lauded for their ease of performance and good blood supply, buccal flaps require careful manipulation (4,(11)(12)(13). Palatal rotation-advancement flap was successfully used in 4 patients.…”

Objetive. To analyze characteristics, clinical evolution and surgical techniques of oroantral communication (OAC). Study Design. We included all patients operated at the University Central Hospital (Oviedo, Spain) between 1996 and 2007. The variables assessed were age, sex, medical history, OAC size, sinus disease, surgical technique, duration of hospitalization and post-surgical evolution. Results. We analyzed 12 patients (7 men and 5 women) with an average age of 47.5 years. The most frequent cause of oroantral communication was the extraction of the first upper molar. The average size of fistula was 0.9 cm. Buccal flap repair was used in 7 patients, palatal rotation-advancement flap in 4 patients and buccal fat pad in only one patient. Suture dehiscence was observed in one patient treated with a palatal flap, but no additional surgery was required. Three OAC recurred; all of them following a buccal flap procedure. All recurrences spontaneously closed between one and four months following the procedure. Conclusion. OACs are rare complications and treatment should be individualized to avoid further complications.

“…Costa et al [15] performed FESS in 17 patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis of dental origin, including five patients with an oro-antral fistula. As a result, they reported that the oro-antral fistula was completely recovered, and that the symptoms of maxillary sinusitis showed improvement.…”

Maxillary sinus membrane elevation and bone graft have been performed routinely in alveolar bone with insufficient residual bone height. There are a number of causes for development of maxillary sinusitis after these procedures. When maxillary sinusitis is caused by sinus membrane elevation, bone graft, and implant placement, various treatment such as medication, incision and drainage (I&D), implant removal, and the Caldwell-Luc procedure can be considered. Removal of an implant or the Caldwell-Luc procedure can be harmful if inflammation is not present in the oral cavity and survival of grafted bone and implant osseointegration can be expected despite the presence of maxillary sinusitis. In this case, functional endoscopic sinus surgery, which was often used in the otorhinolaryngology department, was performed without removal of the implant for a patient with maxillary sinusitis after one month following implant placement. Thus, we report on this case with a review of the literature.
