Treatment of Extraoral Sinus Tract with Endodontic Intervention: A Case Report
Abstract
Abstract
Odontogenic sinus tracts, mostly caused by pulp inflammation are pathologic formations which usually require root canal treatment and rarely surgical procedures. Although most of them occur intraorally, they may also occur extraorally. An extraoral sinus tract is a pathologic pathway between the oral cavity and the skin which can be confused with many other skin lesions and ineffective treatments may be applied because the patients usually do not have dental symptoms. Therefore, the differential diagnosis of these cases is very important. This case report describes the treatment and 3 month follow-up of an extraoral sinus tract which derives from lower incisors.
