RESUMOA Comunicação Buco-Sinusal (CBS) é um incidente cirúrgico que pode ocorrer durante a exodontia de dentes maxilares posteriores devido à intimidade de suas raízes com o assoalho do seio maxilar. As CBSs com diâmetro de até 2mm tendem a curar-se sem tratamento específico. Entretanto, as maiores que 3mm se não tratadas adequadamente, podem evoluir para complicações tais como sinusite maxilar recorrente, alteração do timbre nasal além da passagem de líquidos da cavidade bucal para a nasal através do óstio dentre outras. Este trabalho tem por objetivo discutir as técnicas mais utilizadas para o fechamento de CBS comparando-as com a técnica que utiliza o corpo adiposo bucal (Bola de Bichat), avaliando suas vantagens e desvantagens. As bases de dados digitais acessadas foram PubMed, MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus compreendendo artigos em inglês entre o período de 1988 a 2016. Concluímos que o uso desta técnica apresenta excelentes resultados com poucas complicações, restituindo ao paciente uma condição de normalidade.Palavras-Chave: Fístula Bucoantral, Fístula Bucosinusal, Corpo adiposo bucal, bola de Bichat, Comunicação Bucosinusal. ABSTRACTOroantral Communication (OC) is a surgical incident that can occur during posterior maxillary teeth extraction due to the anatomical intimacy of its roots with the lining of the maxillary sinus. OC up to 2mm in diameter can cure without specific treatment. However, as larger than 3mm if left untreated, they may progress to complications such as recurrent maximal sinusitis, alteration of the nasal timbre beyond the passage of the oral cavity to a nasal through the ostium, among others. Several surgical techniques have been developed for the treatment of OC. This paper aims to review the literature on how to evaluate the most commonly used techniques for closing the OC, comparing them with a technique that uses the buccal adipose body (Bichat Ball), discussing its advantages and advantages. The digital databases accessed were PubMed, MEDLINE, LILACS and Scopus comprising articles in English from 1988 to 2016. This study allows us to conclude that the use of this technique presents excellent results with few complications, restoring the patient to a normal condition.Key-Words: Oroantral fistula, Oroantral communication, buccal fat pad, bichat fat pad

Introduction: The oroantral fistula consists of a persistent communication between the maxillary sinus and the buccal cavity, being a complication resulting from traumas, pathologies or dental extractions. Objective: To present a clinical case of oroantral fistula closure using autogenous bone graft from the anterior sinus wall as a treatment option. Materials and Methods: Patient with a history of traumatic extraction of the upper left molars about 4 months ago. During the clinical examination, there was an orifice in the left maxillary alveolar crest, suggestive of oroantral fistula, responding positively to the Valsalva maneuver. Panoramic radiographic examination evidenced continuity between the oral cavity and the left maxillary sinus, which presented with opacification, suggestive of acute maxillary sinusitis on the left side. Sinusitis was treated within 15 days. After treatment, we evaluated the patient who was asymptomatic and, at that moment, the surgical procedure for the oroantral fistula closure was planned, removing a bone block from the anterior wall of the left maxillary sinus presenting the sinus membrane and grafting with fixation using System 1.5 mm with an "L" plate and four bolts. Conclusion: This surgical technique is useful for the closure of chronic oroantral fistulas in patients with oroantral fistulas.Descriptors: Oroantral Fistula; Bone Transplantation; Maxillary Sinus.ReferencesMartín-Granizo R, Naval L, Costas A, Goizueta C, Rodriguez F, Monje F, Muñoz M, Diaz F.

Abstract Purpose Maxillary bone grafts and implantations have increased over recent years despite a lack of maxillary bone quality and quantity. The number of patients referred for oroantral fistula (OAF) due to implant or bone graft failure has increased, and in patients with an oroantral fistula, the pedicled buccal fat pad is viewed as a robust, reliable option. This study was conducted to document the usefulness of buccal fat pad grafts for oroantral fistula closure. Materials and methods We retrospectively studied 25 patients with OAF treated with a buccal fat pad graft from 2015 to 2018. Sex, age, OAF location, cause, duration, presence of systemic disease, smoking, previous dental surgery, and side effects were investigated. Results A total of 25 patients were studied. Mean patient age was 54.8 years, and the male to female ratio was 19:6. Causes of oroantral fistula were cyst enucleation, tumor resection, implant removal, bone graft failure, and extraction. Excellent results were obtained in 23 (92%) of the 25 patients. In the other two patients that both smoked, a small fistula was observed during follow-up. No recurrence of oroantral fistula was observed after 2 months to 1 year of follow-up. Conclusions The incidence of oroantral fistula is increasing due to implant and bone graft failures. Oroantral fistula closure using a pedicled buccal fat pad was found to have a high success rate.

Abstract Background The pedicled buccal fat pad has been used for a long time to reconstruct oral defects due to its ease of flap formation and few complications. Many cases related to reconstruction of defects in the maxilla, such as closing the oroantral fistula, have been reported, but cases related to the reconstruction of defects in the mandible are limited. Under adequate anterior traction, pedicled buccal fat pad can be a reliable and effective method for reconstruction of surgical defects in the posterior mandible. Case presentation This study describes two cases of reconstruction of surgical oral defects in the posterior mandible, all of which were covered by a pedicled buccal fat pad. The size of the flap was sufficient to perfectly close the defect without any tension. Photographic and radiologic imaging showed successful closure of the defects and no problems were noted in the treated area. Conclusion In conclusion, the pedicled buccal fat pad graft is a convenient and reliable method for the reconstruction of surgical defects on the posterior mandible.

A comunicação bucosinusal trata-se da comunicação não natural da cavidade bucal com o seio maxilar, estando muitas vezes relacionada a extração dos dentes superiores posteriores. A literatura apresenta diversas opções de tratamento para esses casos, entre eles o fechamento com o retalho pediculado com o corpo adiposo bucal. O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar um caso de fístula bucosinusal em paciente diabético, discutindo alternativas cirúrgicas correlacionadas com problema sistêmico do paciente e características locais do defeito. Paciente do sexo masculino, 55 anos de idade, com histórico de dez dias de exodontia do elemento 27, com queixa de passagem de ar ao meio bucal através do sítio cirúrgico. Com base nos exames, o diagnóstico definitivo foi de comunicação bucosinusal, sendo estipulado o tratamento cirúrgico para o fechamento da comunicação através de duas camadas com o corpo adiposo da bochecha seguido do retalho vestibular. No acompanhamento de 8 meses e meio o paciente não apresenta queixas e pode-se observar o fechamento completo da comunicação bucosinusal. O retalho pediculado do corpo adiposo bucal seguido do retalho vestibular mostrou-se efetivo no tratamento da fístula bucosinusal em paciente diabético controlado.Descritores: Fístula Bucoantral; Cirurgia Bucal; Diabetes Mellitus.ReferênciasLozano-Carrascal N, Salomó-Coll O, Gehrke SA, Calvo-Guirado JL, Hernández-Alfaro F, Gargallo-Albiol J.

Introduction: Chronic maxillary atelectasis refers to a persistent volume decrease of the maxillary sinus by inward bowing of its walls. When associated with hypoglobus or enophthalmos, some authors use the term “silent sinus syndrome”. We aimed to report a case of accidental diagnosis of chronic maxillary atelectasis while investigating and treating a recurrent oroantral fistula. Observation: CT imaging showed a large bone defect and stage II chronic maxillary atelectasis. Closure of the oroantral fistula was performed with a combined surgical approach: functional endoscopic surgery and buccal fat pad flap. The follow up at 2 months showed no signs of recurrent oroantral fistula. Commentaries: Chronic maxillary atelectasis is separated into three stages, membranous deformity (stage I), bony deformity (stage II), and clinical deformity (stage III). The term silent sinus syndrome should be abandoned for stage III chronic maxillary atelectasis to allow for better collaboration between medical practitioners. Recurrent oroantral fistulas should be treated with a combined approach including endoscopic antrostomy and local flap. Conclusion: The association of functional endoscopic surgery and buccal fat pad flap were the key to success in this case allowing for oroantral fistula closure and treatment of chronic maxillary atelectasis.

Oral fistula (OAF) is a pathological communication between the oral cavity and maxillary sinus which has its origin either from iatrogenic complications or from dental infections, osteomyelitis, radiation therapy or trauma. OAF closures can be achieved using different flaps which show both advantages and limitations. Therefore they all need careful consideration in order to select the best approach depending on the situation. The most widely employed flaps are of three types: vestibular flap, palatal flap and buccal fat pad Flap(BFP). The authors present three cases of OAF with the different techniques. It is suggested that the buccal flap is best applied in the case of large fistulas located in the anterior region, the palatal flap is suitable to correct premolar defects and the BFP flap for wide posterior OAFs.
