Esthetic improvement of a cutaneous sinus tract of odontogenic origin

Abstract

A cutaneous sinus tract of dental origin is relatively uncommon and may easily be misdiagnosed because of its unusual occurrence and absence of dental symptoms. Extraoral drainage depends on the location of the affected tooth as well as on specific factors such as the virulence of the microorganism, resistance of the patient’s body, and the relationship between anatomy and muscle facial attachments.
