Abstract

We report an interesting case of a post-traumatic actinomycotic oro-antral fistula of the left posterior maxilla, that was not salvageable via local flaps due to the size of the defect and was managed with the patient-specific titanium implant, fabricated by three-dimensional stereolithographic model planning followed by primary closure.
