“…The possible etiology for development of odontogenic extraoral sinus tract includes trauma to the tooth, retained roots, residual chronic infection of the jaw, and pulpal pathologies. 7 The purulent exudate of the odontogenic infection will move towards the path of the least resistance from the periapical area. Once the cortical plate has been penetrated, the sinus tract exits as an intraoral or extra oral sinus, depending on the location of the muscle attachments and the facial sheaths.…”

A longstanding odontogenic infection often leads to the formation of suppuration, which is drained either intraorally or extraorally through a sinus tract. Being a rare condition, the extraoral sinus tract of odontogenic origin is usually misdiagnosed as a non-odontogenic infection by physicians. 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.

Odontogenic sinus tracts in the face and neck region are relatively uncommon and may present a diagnostic problem. As specific dental symptoms usually are absent in these cases, patients generally visit physician first for the evaluation and treatment because of the absence of dental symptoms. These cutaneous sinus tracts are most commonly located on the chin, cheek or in the submandibular area and rarely in the nasal region. Diagnostic errors can result in multiple surgical excisions and biopsies, long-term antibiotic therapy and even radiation therapy or electrodessication.1 The primary odontogenic disorder that results in such cutaneous lesions is typically a chronic periapical abscess or an impacted tooth or a root piece. We report two cases of extraoral sinus tracts, which were diagnosed as cutaneous sinus tracts of dental origin only after the failure of initial misdirected therapy.
