“…However, in OAC treated with a Bichat's fat pad graft, only one fistulazation of the communication occurred (9). As our results show, what is certain is that it appears evident that in the literature reviewed, there are various authors who recommend using a Bichat's fat pad graft due to the excellent results obtained in their studies, the advantages it offers and the very few postoperative complications described (11,14,(21)(22)(23), possibly attributed to the excellent vascularization via branches of the maxillary artery, superficial temporal artery and small ramifications of the facial artery, according to Hanazawa et al (9), who assert that it is a technique that may be applied to many cases, that it is easy to use, has a low rate of failure if it is performed properly, and produces minimal discomfort for the patient during the postoperative recovery process.…”

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 Bichat's fat pad grafts, whereas the technique with the highest percentage of complications has been the use of the palatal rotation flap. The most frequent complication has been the fistulization of the OAC. Conclusions: Early diagnosis of OAC and its treatment within 48 hours of evolution are fundamental in order to properly resolve this pathology. The use of Bichat's fat pad grafts is a simple technique that offers excellent vascularization and results.

“…Successful closure of OAF with buccal fat pad is widely reported in the literature 2,7,10,12 . Stajcic 12 reported the use of pedicled BFP in the closure of oro-nasal and oro-antral communications following extractions in 56 patients with excellent results.…”

SummaryObjectives: Chronic oro-antral fistula following dental extraction is not uncommon. Application of pedicled buccal fat pad (BFP) in the repair of the fistula is rather uncommon in our environment. This article demonstrates the use of BFP in the repair of chronic oro-antral fistula. Methods: A case of a chronic oro-antral fistula of 5-year duration in a 56-year old man successfully repaired with pedicled buccal fat pad after unsuccessful several attempts with other local flaps is presented. A review of relevant literature using MEDLINE is also presented. Results: Complete epithelization of the pedicled BFP was observed after 4 weeks with no postoperative complication. Conclusion: Pedicled buccal fat pad is a reliable flap for the repair of oro-antral fistula. The easy mobilization of the BFP and its excellent blood supply and minimal donor site morbidity makes it an ideal flap. It should also be considered as a reliable back-up procedure in the event of failure of other techniques.

“…The alternative ways to close an oroantral communication includes laser bio-stimulation (over 5 days), transplantation of a mature third molar (followed by RCT of the tooth 5 -6 weeks later), autogenous monocortical bone blocks (from the chin). Stajcis [4] advocated the use of the buccal fat pad for OAF closure without any complications, and we found that BFP was very useful for OAF closure without any disturbance and scaring in the vestibule of OAF closure such as buccal advancement flap.…”

Extraction of the first molar or premolar is the commonest cause of oro-antral fistula. Management involves identification of the same, removal of any foreign body from the maxillary sinus, if present, followed by appropriate flap for closer. A case is presented when a gutta percha (GP) point was accidentally dislodged into the right maxillary sinus during preliminary diagnosis of the oro-antral fistula. The surgical management of the case is described and is the appropriate treatment plan.
