Abstract :

The development and progression of endodontically induced periapical lesions is clearly associated with the presence of microorganisms in the root canal system. The present case report discusses diagnosis and treatment of an extraoral cutaneous sinus tract of odontogenic origin in relation to a mandibular right permanent first molar with closed apex (diagnosed as non-suppurative periradicular periodontitis with an extraoral cutaneous sinus tract opening in the left side of mandibular posterior region). Conservative endodontic therapy was performed using triple antibiotic paste as intracanal medicament. Patient responded well with the treatment approach and the cutaneous lesions was healed uneventfully. In the absence of any clinical symptom complete obturation was done in mandibular right first permanent molar. Patient was kept on regular follow-up.
