Sinus lining prolapse after tooth extraction was successfully treated by repositioning the lining and using a buccal fat pad graft. This surgical technique promoted complete healing and sinus function.

Area of Science:

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Dental Implantology
Periodontology

Background:

Alveolar ridge preservation after tooth extraction is crucial for maintaining bone structure.
Maxillary sinus communication or prolapse can complicate post-extraction healing.
Surgical intervention may be necessary for managing sinus membrane complications.

Observation:

A patient presented with a prolapse of the sinus lining into an extraction socket four weeks after the initial procedure.
The prolapsed sinus lining was repositioned back into the sinus cavity.
A buccal fat pad pedicle graft was utilized to support and maintain the repositioned sinus lining.

Findings:

The surgical management successfully addressed the sinus lining prolapse.

Keywords:

antrum buccal fat pad decongestant herniation prolapse

Complete healing of the extraction socket and sinus membrane was achieved within several weeks.

The use of a buccal fat pad graft provided stable coverage and support.

Implications:

This case demonstrates a viable surgical approach for managing delayed sinus lining prolapse.
Buccal fat pad grafts offer a reliable option for reconstructive procedures in the oral cavity.
Prompt management can prevent further complications and ensure successful osseointegration for future dental implants.
