A prolapse of the sinus lining through an extraction socket occurred after 4 weeks. The lining was pushed into the socket and maintained with a buccal fat pad pedicle graft. Healing was complete after several weeks. A sinus decongestant can be prescribed to promote sinus drainage and reduce pressure.
