Chronic apical periodontitis can drain through a sinus tract, which may be intra-oral or extra-oral, though an intra-oral drainage is more common. Though such cases can be treated in a single visit, there is no report on a single visit endodontic treatment for a chronic apical periodontitis with a draining sinus. This case report demonstrates that the apical periodontitis with a cutaneous sinus tract can be successfully treated endodontically as a single visit procedure, if the patient is in good systemic health.
慢性根尖周炎可通过窦道引流,窦道可为口腔内或口腔外的,不过口腔内引流更为常见。虽然此类病例可一次就诊治疗,但尚无关于伴有引流窦道的慢性根尖周炎一次就诊根管治疗的报道。本病例报告表明,如果患者全身健康状况良好,伴有皮肤窦道的根尖周炎可作为一次就诊程序成功地进行根管治疗。
