Sumario:Oroantral communication (OAC) or fistula (OAF) is an open pathological communication between the oral cavity and maxillary sinus which mostly occurs as a result of extraction of upper molars and premolars, iatrogenic complications or from dental infections, osteomyelitis, radiation therapy or trauma. Several alternative techniques modalities have been described throughout the years for the management of OAC and OAF which show both advantages and limitations. The most employed surgical flaps are of three types: advanced buccal flap, palatal flap and buccal fat pad flap. The authors present two clinical cases: oroantral communication and oroantral fistula, both were treated by using buccal advancement flap.
