ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#This study aimed to investigate the application of acellular dermal matrix and acellular bone matrix in the management of oro-antral fistula.@*METHODS@#Nine patients with oro-antral fistula (with defect greater than 5 mm×5 mm) after maxillary cyst resection or maxillary molar extraction were selected. The defects were repaired by the simultaneous implantation of acellular dermal matrix and acellular bone matrix.@*RESULTS@#The incisions of nine patients were all primary healing. After 6 months of follow-up, the oro-antral communication healed well, and no symptom such as nasal congestion or runny nose was observed. The clinical and CT examinations confirmed wound healing.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The usage of acellular dermal matrix and acellular bone matrix is a reliable repairing method for ora-antral fistula.
