Abstract

Abstract : Oroantral fistula (OAF) is the most common etiology for odontogenic maxillary sinusitis that can be caused by tooth extractions, failed maxillary sinus lifts, bone grafts, and poor positioning of dental implant fixtures. A 52-year-old man presented with an OAF and maxillary sinusitis after implant placement and bone grafting. The authors treated the patient with modified endoscopic sinus surgery to obtain OAF closure and provided dental implant placement procedures afterward. The authors also treated 8 other similar cases with favorable outcomes. In this study, the authors report the know-how of implant placement procedures in patients with OAF and maxillary sinusitis.
