Resolution of Nasal Sinus Tract after Endodontic Therapy: A Case Report with Microbial Analysis
2021, Journal of EndodonticsUltrasound Examination to Visualize and Trace Sinus Tracts of Endodontic Origin
2019, Journal of EndodonticsCitation Excerpt :The difficulty in the healing of STs has been explained in the past with the presence of an epithelial lining throughout the tract8,30, which would hamper the closure of the pathologic pathway despite the adequate treatment of the root canal infection. Epithelialization as the cause of failure has been dispelled by the evidence that the persistence of infection was a more important reason for the lack of resolution of the ST11,31. Concentrations above the average of specific pathogens in intraradicular infection have been considered responsible for the poorer prognosis of teeth with chronic apical abscesses; yet, no significant differences were found between cases with and without STs in terms of total bacterial counts32.
Cone-beam Computed Tomography as a Noninvasive Assistance Tool for Oral Cutaneous Sinus Tract Diagnosis: A Case Series
2019, Journal of EndodonticsCitation Excerpt :In general, a periapical infection with an associated OCST is not painful although there is often a history of varying magnitudes of discomfort before ST development16. Only 50% of these patients experience dental pain, and the involved teeth are in most cases not tender to percussion5,16,17. The lack of specific intraoral symptoms and an unpleasant esthetic appearance might be the reason that patients usually do not relate the skin lesion to a dental origin.
