Verma’s Stepped Palatal Flap: A New Technique for the Management of Oroantral Fistula
Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Oroantral communication (OAC) is an unnatural communication between the oral cavity and maxillary sinus which gets epithelized over a period of time leading to formation of oroantral fistula (OAF). It is an uncommon complication of extraction of maxillary posterior teeth and may occur after surgical procedures involving the maxillary antrum. Various techniques have been documented in literature for the management of oroantral fistula (OAF). Buccal sliding flap and palatal pedicle flap are the two most commonly used techniques. The purpose of this article is to present “Stepped Palatal Flap” in the management of oroantral fistula.
