The authors report their clinical experience regarding an original method of surgical repair of oro-sinusal communications. From September 1999 to December 2003, 13 patients (7 male and 6 female patients; mean age: 52 years, range: 24-68 years) underwent surgical repair of an oro-antral fistula by means of cryoplatelet gel: in three patients, it was mixed with bioglass granules; in two, it was mixed with Bioss; in three, it was mixed with particulate bone extracted by means of a bone grafter from the oral cavity close to the operative site, with addition of demineralised bovine bone; in three, it was used together with porose hydroxyapatite, and in two patients the cryoplatelet gel was used only. No postoperative complication was reported; primary wound healing was achieved within seven to nine days.
