Description
Shehab Hamad compares two ways to close a lasting hole between the mouth and the sinus, in work from 2026. Such holes can form after a back tooth is pulled. Both ways use fat from the cheek, once as a flap still linked to blood flow and once as a free graft.
Thirteen cases got the flap and fourteen got the graft. Work time was close in both groups. The flap group had more face swelling and more loss of mouth depth. Both ways closed most holes well, with just a few fails in each group. Either way can work, even for large holes.
