| Sumario: | Objective: to present a case report of a patient with a bucosinusal communication and its surgical resolution through the palatal pocket technique. Method: The patient came to the office reporting pain and passage of substances from the oral cavity to the nose. During inspection, a prosthetic reconstruction was observed, and in the multislice CT scan, the right maxillary sinus showed a lane to the alveolus of the second upper premolar. An irregular and diffuse foreign body was seen inside the maxillary sinus. Pre-surgical preparation: washes were performed through the fistula. Under general anesthesia, surgery was performed for the removal of the foreign body and plastic closure of the communication, using the palatal pocket technique. Results and conclusion: This technique ensured a tight closure of the communication and prevented reopening of the lesion. This was confirmed during postoperative controls |
