Oro-antral communication and fistulas are commonly encountered complications in upper premolar and molar regions. A total of 307 articles were screened after conducting a literature search on Pubmed, of which 41 were selected and reviewed. Various treatment modalities used for the correction of OAC/OAF were evaluated for their effectiveness and long term results. We concluded that the treatment modality is dependent on many factors and should be used judiciously whenever required. Through this paper, we present the above review and report of two cases, managed at our department.
