Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose : Surgical intervention into the maxillary posterior area can lead to inadvertent communication with the
maxillary sinus. Spontaneous healing of 1 to 2 mm openings can occur. However, in patients with larger oro-antral
communications and those with a history of sinus disease, surgical closure is often indicated.
Materials & Methods : In this case, a modified free gingival graft technique was used. The oro-antral sinus track
after extraction was about 2×4 mm. But the patient had a history of Caldwell-Luc operation. Immediately after
extraction, a modified free gingival graft was used for the closure of oro-antral sinus track.
Results : A modified free gingival graft technique was successfully used for the closure of oro-antral sinus track. With this technique, esthetic results including similar colors, textures were achieved.
Conclusion : It is thought that this technique is very useful in the closure of oro-antral sinus track. (J Korean Acad
