Oroantral Communication
Conditions
Brief summary
An oroantral communication is a relatively common yet, serious complication following the extraction of posterior maxillary teeth because of their close relationship to the maxillary sinus. Several surgical techniques exist for the repair of oroantral communication, including local and free flaps, tissue expansion, allogenic tissue, and biomaterials. The present study aims to evaluate the use of the BioXclude amnion chorion membrane in the repair of oroantral communication.
Detailed description
This study will be performed on ten patients who have oroantral communication after extracting posterior maxillary teeth. The oroantral communication will be repaired by using the BioXclude amnion chorion membrane.
Interventions
The OAC will be closed by the Bioxclude ACM Amnion chorion membrane which is applied over the extraction socket then supported with a buccal advanced flap.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| success of surgery | 1 month | Surgery will be considered successful in case of negative nose-blowing 1-month postoperatively, absence of infection, absence of dehiscence or other healing complication |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain level | 12 hours | Post-operative pain measure by patients rating 12 h after surgery using visual analogue scale (VAS) of 100 unit on three-point scale with: 0-34 as mild pain, 35 - 64 as moderate pain and 65 - 100 as severe pain |
| Change in bone formation | at 3rd, 6th months | Evaluation of bone formation at the communication site by computed tomography will be measured at 3 months and 6 months post operatively |
