The first case was 23 year-old women with a draining cutaneous sinus tract on the chin, which originated from mandibular incisors. The lesion had been present for two years and had been occasionally draining purulent fluid. The second case was 46 year-old women with a large non-demarcated radiolucent lesion located in apical portion of the mandibular left second premolar root. The patient had exhibited slight discomfort in the premolar region.
In both cases, the lesions completely resolved following non-surgical endodontic treatment. Recall visits were performed after 3, 6 month and 12-month period. In the first case, the sinus tract completely healed within two weeks with a small dimple-like scar, one-year recall radiography demonstrated completed bony repair.
