Thanks for using Health care magic.

Read your query.

Signs and symptoms suggests the creation of a oroantral fistula,which should be of some concern.

Oroantral fistula closure is very important to avoid food and saliva contamination that could lead to bacterial infection, impaired healing and chronic sinusitis.The treatment is done taken in consideration the width, epithelialization and presence or absence of infections.

I would advice that is the fistula is less than 3mm ,it usually heals spontaneously in the absence of any infections.If in your case the defect is more than this ,it will require further treatment using flaps which will be best decided by your surgeon.

Please consult your surgeon and have it reviewed.

Hope this was helpful.
