Use of N-butyl cyanoacrylate with metacryloxisulfolane (glubran 2) surgical glue for flapless closure of oroantral communication.

AIM To present first experience of the use N-butyl cyanoacrylate with metacryloxisulfolane (Glubran 2) synthetic surgical glue, in the nonsurgical closure of oroantral communication (OAC). MATERIAL AND METHODS Two OACs, created after the exodontia of tooth 27 in 2 female patients, were sealed and closed with Glubran 2 surgical glue and monitored OACs, until the epithelization of the sockets was ended successfully. Two months postclosure of OACs, the sealed OACs were evaluated on the panoramic image and Water's view radiography. RESULTS The extraction wounds with OACs were monitored until 23rd and 25th postinterventional days, when epithelization of socket ended successfully. On the panoramic image and Water's view radiography, there were no radiological signs of maxillary sinus pathoses. CONCLUSION Glubran 2 can be successfully applied in the closure of OAC from 3 to 5 mm in diameter.
