Masking the Drawbacks of Surgical Closure of Failed Oroantral Fistula Correction with a Partial Denture Prosthesis
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
Proximity of maxillary sinus with the maxillary posterior teeth makes it vulnerable to be exposed during difficult extractions. When the sinus is exposed during extraction it is usually closed by surgery. Many times these closures are not either complete or fail to close because of patient related factors. Therefore it becomes significant for surgeon to follow strict protocol of following up such patients. This article describes a case where the same was not done properly and has forensic applications. The fistula present in this case is small which was not observed by examiners at three different levels before being finally diagnosed. The article also reiterates the significance of doing complete examination in such cases. The patient was successfully rehabilitated using a modified partial denture.
