Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical results of combining a pedicle connective palatal flap with a trapezoid buccal flap with the standard buccal flap alone in the closure of oro-antral fistula (OAF), and the buccal flap combined with leukocyte and platelet rich fibrin.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Buccal flap

The buccal flap is slid over the fistula and sutured to the undermined palatal mucosa using horizontal mattress sutures.

No interventions assigned to this group

Double-layer

A combination between a buccal trapezoidal flap and a palatal connective pedicle flap.

No interventions assigned to this group

Buccal flap with L-PRF

A L-PRF plug is interposed between the fistula and the buccal sliding flap.

No interventions assigned to this group
