Visitor asks:
Kind regards,
About 4 days ago I had an apicoectomy. The procedure went without complications, but it happened that they reached the sinus. The upper right lateral incisor was operated on.
Yesterday a small fistula appeared again and then burst. Today it was no longer visible.
I would like to know whether the appearance of a fistula so soon after the procedure is normal or whether this means the procedure will need to be repeated?
Thank you very much for your answer.
Have a nice day,
Domen

Dear Sir/Madam!
It is difficult for me to imagine that the sinus was perforated during an apicoectomy (more likely the floor of the nasal cavity). Reopening of the fistula shortly after the procedure is not worrying. It is still far too early to evaluate the result of the procedure.
Have a nice day!
