Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical results of combining a pedicle connective palatal flap with a trapezoid buccal flap with the standard buccal flap alone in the closure of oro-antral fistula (OAF), and the buccal flap combined with leukocyte and platelet rich fibrin.

    Arms and Interventions

    Arm Intervention/Treatment
    Buccal flap

    The buccal flap is slid over the fistula and sutured to the undermined palatal mucosa using horizontal mattress sutures.

    Double-layer

    A combination between a buccal trapezoidal flap and a palatal connective pedicle flap.

    Buccal flap with L-PRF

    A L-PRF plug is interposed between the fistula and the buccal sliding flap.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Closure success [One month after surgery]

      Measured with probing and Valsalva test

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Patient reported Pain [Each week for one month]

      Pain on a VAS scale
