Abstract:
Oro-antral Communication is an unnatural communication between the oral cavity and maxillary sinus and when it fails to close spontaneously, it remains patent and is epithelialized so that oro-antral fistula develops. It is a common occurrence following removal of maxillary premolars and molars because of anatomic proximity of root apices of these teeth and maxillary antrum. Signs and symptoms of oro-antral fistula varies from free escape of fluids, pain, pus leakage, voice alteration, to pan-sinusitis. Several surgical options exist for its management, in particular the buccal fat pad technique, which has proved to be an effective and a reliable technique. We report in this article two-succefull cases of oro-antral fistula managed with buccal fat pad.
