[|Human|] I have an oroantral fistula resulting from surgical extraction of an abscessed tooth two-and-a-half weeks ago. Aside from the fact that it interferes with normal talking, eating and drinking, Im worried that the OAF will not heal and lead to chronic sinusitis. What is the most successful method for treatment of an OAF?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The most accepted treatment of choice for managing the oraoantral fistula is the buccal pedicle or palatal pedicle or advancement flap positioning after removing the fistulous tract lining. Consult an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and get it done. Yes, if you won't get it treated, it will result in chronic maxillary sinusitis and pus discharge from the fistula. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
