Intervention(s)
In 36 patients, following the extractions of maxillary posterior teeth, Acute oroantral communications (OACs) which were larger than 3mm diameter were detected. In group A, 21 patients were treated with the use of platelet rich fibrin (PRF) and in group B, buccal advancement flap was used in 15 patients.
1st intervention (group A): Two PRF clots were used for the treatment of acute OACs. Blood samples of each patient were taken directly into 2 x 10 mL glass-coated plastic tubes (excluding anticoagulant, and immediately centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 min (Elektro-mag, M415P, Istanbul). The platelet-poor plasma was separated from middle part (PRF) that accumulated at the top of the tube and collected the PRF from roughly 2 mm below its’ contact point with the red corpuscles to include any remaining platelets.Then, two PRF clots were gently placed into the extraction cavity and sutured to avoid them from escaping to the sinus and for stabilization.
2nd intervention (group B): Buccal advancement flap was used to close acute oroantral communications. The extraction socket was closed by sliding the buccal flap over the socket and suturing the flap to the undermined palatal mucosa.
All interventions were performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
