Closure of large oroantral fistula with resorbable collagen membrane: Case report

Abstract

Oroantral fistula is pathologic communication between oral cavity and maxillary sinus, usually localized between antrum and buccal vestibulum. Persisting OAF always causes chronic maxillary sinusitis. A technique for closure of a large oroantral fistula with resorbable collagen membrane is described.Oroantralna fistula je patoloska komunikacija izmedju usne duplje i maksilarnog sinusa. Perzistentna fistula uvek izaziva hronicni maksilarni sinuzitis. Cilj ovog rada je bio da se predstavi tehnika zatvaranja velike oroantralne fistule resorptivnom kolagenom membranom.
