Abstract
Background & objectives: After posterior maxillary teeth extraction, oroantral communication is a reasonably common significant consequence. At the time of damage, if the opening is > 4-5 mm, surgical closure of the antral perforation is required. This study aimed to check the value of BioXclude amnion chorion membrane in repairing oroantral communication. Materials and Methods: Ten patients with oroantral communication that occurred after posterior maxillary teeth extraction were included in the study. Surgery was considered successful in case of no nose blowing at 1-month after surgery. Post-operative pain was assessed. Evaluation of bone formation at the communication site by computed tomography was measured post operatively at 3 and 6 months. Results: After 3 and 6 months, all patients (100.0%) showed bone formation, and a significant increase in bone density was noted. After 6 months there was a significant closure of OAC. Conclusion: Amnion chorion membrane is an excellent scaffold layer for covering iatrogenic oroantral communication defect. BioXclude has self-adhering properties once it becomes moist. This eliminates the need for suturing of the membrane.
