Conditions
Keywords
Oroantral fistula, Buccal Fat pad, Buccal advancement flap, Oroantral fistula closure, Postoperative pain
Brief summary
This randomized controlled trial compares postoperative pain following surgical closure using a buccal fat pad flap versus a buccal advancement flap. The study aims to determine whether there is a difference in postoperative pain between the two surgical techniques in patients undergoing treatment for oroantral fistula. Pain will be assessed after surgery using the study's predefined pain assessment method.
Interventions
PROCEDUREBuccal fat pad flap
Surgical closure using a buccal fat pad flap. Postoperative pain will be assessed following the procedure.
PROCEDUREBuccal advancement flap
Surgical closure using a buccal advancement flap. Postoperative pain will be assessed following the procedure.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Postoperative pain measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) | 24 hours and 7 days post-operation | Postoperative pain will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at 24 hours and 7 days after surgery. The VAS ranges from 0 to 100 mm, where 0 mm represents no pain and 100 mm represents the worst pain imaginable. Higher scores indicate greater pain and therefore a worse outcome. Pain scores will be compared between patients treated with buccal fat pad flap and buccal advancement flap. |
