The aim of this study was to assess the use of buccal fat pad (BFP) technique as an option to close oroantral communications (OAC) after removing failed zygomatic implants in a patient with a severely resorbed maxilla, and to
determine the degree of patient satisfaction.
A 64-year-old woman presented recurrent sinusitis and permanent oroantral communication caused by bilateral
failed zygomatic implants, 3 years after prosthetic loading. Zygomatic implants were removed previous antibiotic
treatment and the BFP flap technique was used to treat the OAC and maxillary defect. The degree of patient satisfaction after treatment was assessed through a visual analogue scale (VAS). At 6-months follow-up, patient showed
complete healing and good function and the results in terms of phonetics, aesthetics and chewing were highly rated
by the patient.
