Hi Mary,
Yes that is a large area and usually more than a general dentist can handle unless they have extensive training in oral surgery. There are different methods used to attempt at least primary closure on a hole of that size and the ideal time to perform the closure is at the time of the extractions. Oral tissue recedes after any tooth extraction which can be problematic if trying to close up the wound at a later date. Also the more diseased the tissue is or the more tissue that is removed during the surgery, the less there will be to suture closed. So between the recession, the infection and the traumatic surgery..... this oral surgeon has a difficult task to perform. What is the current status of the opening in the sinus? Bryanna Quote:

Hi Mary,
The hole into the sinus is 30 x 15? Is the extraction site that large as well? Bryanna

Mary,
When you look in your mouth at that area is there a huge hole or is it sutured closed? Are you still getting drainage from your sinus into your mouth or vice versa? Bryanna

I got the notes from the original doctor's extraction and the x-rays. She never mentioned the sinus hole. This is driving me crazy. |

Jan,
Okay so the oral surgeon was able to obtain at least primary closure of the extraction site with sutures. That's good. I hope this graft works for you! Any chance you could post the xrays of that area? If not that's okay. I am just curious to see what that area looked like pre or post op the extractions. Bryanna Quote:
