AI Article Synopsis
- A 1.5-cm oral antral fistula was successfully closed using a combination of grafting techniques and bone morphogenetic protein-2 in a collagen sponge.
- The procedure involved accessing the sinus through a molar extraction site, elevating the sinus membrane, and repairing soft tissue with a buccal advancement flap.
- One year later, both the bone around the dental implant and the implant itself showed good stability and health.
Article Abstract
Closure of a 1.5-cm oral antral fistula was done in combination with sinus floor and extraction socket grafting using recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 within a collagen sponge matrix. The approach to the sinus was transalveolar, with elevation of the sinus membrane done through a molar extraction socket. Following graft placement, soft tissue repair was done with a buccal advancement flap. A dental implant was subsequently placed and restored. Peri-implant bone and implant stability were well maintained at the 1-year follow up examination.
