A Double Barrier Technique in Surgical Closure of Oroantral Communication

Routine minor surgical procedures in the maxillary premolar or molar region often heal without any repercussions; however, some may culminate in an unintentional opening into the maxillary sinus, leading to the formation of oroantral communication.

Sumario:Routine minor surgical procedures in the maxillary premolar or molar region often heal without any repercussions; however, some may culminate in an unintentional opening into the maxillary sinus, leading to the formation of oroantral communication. It is, therefore, imperative for a surgeon to recognize it and treat it sequentially to avoid long-term complications. This case report highlights a flapless double membrane closure of oroantral communication (OAC) with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membranes and its edge over conventional methods.
