Comparison of a Double-layered Technique With the Buccal Sliding Flap for Closure of Oroantral Communication
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.

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
