Non-surgical management of an Extra-oral sinus tract of an odontogenic origin-A Case Report

Abstract

A longstanding odontogenic infection often leads to the formation of suppuration, which is drained either intra-orally or extra-orally through a sinus tract. Being a rare condition, the extraoral sinus tract of odontogenic origin is usually misdiagnosed. As it is rightly said that a correct diagnosis is three-fourths the remedy, diagnosing the odontogenic extraoral sinus tract is of prime importance for its effective management. So, this case report demonstrates the diagnosis and the non-surgical endodontic management of an extraoral sinus tract. Key Words - Cutaneous lesion, Extra-oral sinus tract, Non-surgical endodontic management, Odontogenic origin
