It is mainly present in the region of maxillary bicuspids and molars. Oroantral communication is a common one faced by oral surgeons. This poses a risk between sinus and oral cavity, causing regurgitation of sinus contents into oral cavity. This article describes about the different methods and materials used for of closure of oroantral fistula.
