Closure of a persistant oroantral fistula with nasoseptal cartilage as a complication of lateral sinus lifting: A case report

Oroantral fistula may develop due to tooth extraction, infection or surgical interventions in the posterior maxilla. Several surgical techniques have been described for oroantral fistula closure. All these techniques have different advantages and disadvantages. This report presents an oroantral fistula case which occurred following lateral sinus lifting procedure.
