Abstract

Oro-Antral Communication (OAC) is an abnormal communication between the maxillary sinus and the oral cavity. It may be the result of different pathological processes and often occurs following an extraction. This article presents a case of closure of OAC followed by a failed palatal flap. A maxillary obturator was designed and fabricated in heat polymerized acrylic resin. The treatment should always be individualized and planned to avoid failures and promote fast healing.
