Summary
Oroantral fistulae are rare complications originating from non-treated or long-term oroantral communications which can contribute to the development of certain pathological entities such as local infections, sinusitis and chronic fistula formation. The treatment modality indicated is surgical closure of the communication, which can be achieved through multiple techniques, being the size, location and nearby soft tissue the main factors for considering one technique over another. The objective of the following article is to present the management of an oroantral fistula in a 71 year old patient with a medical history of head and neck radiotherapy.
KEY WORDS: oroantral fistula, oroantral communication, oral surgery.
