The buccal fat pad (BFP) is a well-established tool in oral and maxillofacial surgery and its use has proved of value for the closure of oroantral communications. Oroantral communication may be a common complication after sequestrectomy in "bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws."The authors report a clinical case of a 70-year-old female patient in bisphosphonate therapy presented with right maxillary sinusitis and oroantral communication after implants insertion.The BFP was used to close the defect. The patient had an uneventful postoperative healing without dehiscence, infection, and necrosis.The authors postulate that the primary closure of the site with BFP may ensure a sufficient blood supply and adequate protection for an effective bone-healing response to occur.

Real-time surgical navigation systems (dynamic computer-aided surgery, d-CAIS) and static guided surgery (static computer-aided surgery, s-CAIS) have been shown to enhance the accuracy of zygomatic implant (ZI) placement. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate and compare the accuracy and risk of complications associated with d-CAIS and s-CAIS in ZI placement. A systematic review of published studies involving more than 4 patients was conducted to assess and compare the accuracy of d-CAIS and s-CAIS in zygomatic implant placement.

Oroantral fistula (OAF) represents the pathological communication between the oral cavity and maxillary sinus. This condition arises when the structural integrity of the maxillary sinus floor is compromised, resulting in a direct conduit between the sinus and the oral cavity. A less prevalent yet clinically significant contributor to the formation of OAF is chronic osteomyelitis of the maxilla.

Background: Oroantral fistula (OAF) is a pathological channel formed between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus. A large size of OAF (≥5 mm) increases the risk of surgical failure, and an optimal surgical approach should be cautiously selected.
Objective: This study aims to characterize the application of nasal endoscopy and buccal fat pad (BFP) flaps to repair large OAFs in patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS).

Background: Maxillary Schneiderian membrane (SM) perforation is one of the complications of maxillary sinus (MS) augmentation. The aim of the present study was to analyse cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) findings to identify prognostic factors for SM perforation.
Materials And Methods: 50 CBCT scans were recruit for the analysis, 39 were suitable for analysis and met the inclusion criteria.

Article Synopsis
- * The procedure involves lifting the buccal fat pad and sinus mucosa under general anesthesia, then filling the resulting gap with a biomaterial that supports osseointegration.
- * With sufficient surgical experience, this method is considered a reliable solution for successful dental implant placement in the maxillary posterior area.
