Meta-analytic study on the frequency and treatment of oral antral communications

Abstract: Objective: To determine the optimum surgical treatment for oral antral communications (OAC) and to understand the main post-operative complications. Study Design: Meta-analytical, observational and retrospective study of 1,072 cases of OAC obtained from a literature review of 15 articles. Results: OAC occur slightly more often in men and during the fourth decade of life. Its primary etiological factor is dental extraction, most often affecting the third molar. The most common treatment has been the use of Bich… Show more

“…For larger oroantral fistulas, the most predictable way to avoid recurrence is the traction flap using the Bichat's fat pad [9]. This technique can lead to a mucosal healing without correction of the bone defect [9]. This makes implantsupported prosthetic rehabilitation very difficult [1,7,9].…”

“…Esta é definida como uma comunicação patológica, circundada por tecido epitelial, entre a cavidade bucal e seio maxilar, classificada em alvéolo-sinusal, palato-sinusal e vestíbulo-sinusal 3,4,5 . A causa mais comum é em decorrência da extração de dentes posteriores (92,63%), pela estreita relação anatômica entre os ápices desses dentes com o assoalho do seio maxilar, podendo ocorrer com menor frequência por traumas (1,3%), infecções e neoplasias (4,47%), sobretudo, as neoplasias ocorrem com mais prevalência no seio maxilar, comparado com os outros seios paranasais 6,7,8,9,10 .…”
