Abstract

Background:  Smaller oro-antral communication can be successfully treated with primary closure, buccal fat pad, buccal advancement or palatal flap but for the closure of large bony defect graft is necessary. The use of autogenous bone grafts harvested at intra-oral donor sites is a safe and easy technique for repairing these defects, especially Oro-antral Fistula in need of secondary closure. It provides a sound basis for subsequent conventional sinus lift and preserves the vitality of adjacent teeth. 28year old patient reported with complain of pus discharge from previously treated oro-antral communication. Previous closure with buccal fat pad had been successfully done. Patient did not have any complain till the time when there was infection and pus discharge from that region. For that he was treated with autogenous bone graft harvested from interforaminal region of chin mixed with hydroxyapatite crystal and platelet rich plasma.
