Oroantral Fistula Management

Oroantral fistula (OAF) is a complication that may arise as a result of the extraction of maxillary molars, causing abnormal sinus communication and a potential tooth tip falling into the maxillary sinus. This training course on oroantral fistula management exposes students to an understanding of the anatomy of the associated maxillary sinus, assessment of oroantral communication, and surgical options for appropriate OAF closure with sliding flaps, rotation flaps, or PRF.

Overview

Students will practice OAF closure flap techniques on pig jaws as well as with PRF.
