Abstract
This article describes the surgical technique, indications and possible complications of the use of the buccal fat pad in the closure of oro-antral communications (OAC), following tooth extraction, in 56 cases. The technique was successful in all patients and did not interfere with the buccal sulcus depth. It is concluded that it can be safely applied in the closure of OAC.Entities:
