Abstract

Traumatic dental injuries can result in pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis, impairing root development. When this condition is left untreated, it causes inflammation in the tissues at the apex, which may lead to significant damage of the periapical alveolar bone. Tooth with open apex may have a risk of iatrogenic error of extrusion material during the stage of root canal obturation. Objective: This case report discussed the bone healing of large periapical lesion of an iatrogenic extrusion of calcium silicate cement in an open apex maxillary left central incisor. Case report: A 35-year-old female patient presented with a main complaint of a discoloured upper front tooth that was affecting with her appearance. Clinical examination showed her left maxillary central incisor was diagnosed with pulp necrosis and symptomatic apical periodontitis. Periapical radiograph revealed the tooth has an open apex and large periapical lesion. After chemomechanical disinfection, an apical plug was placed with bioceramic material. Periapical radiographs taken postoperatively demonstrated the extrusion of bioceramic material into the periapical lesion. After a year, the tooth does not exhibit any symptoms, and periapical radiographs showed that the periapical region has totally healed. Conclusion: Extruded bioceramic material has no detrimental impact on periapical tissue healing, as evidenced by 12-month follow-up observations.

Abstract

Extraoral draining sinus of odontogenic origin usually lacks intraoral symptoms, thus it may be diagnosed as a cutaneous lesion. It is rare and may be confused with a wide variety of diseases for example furuncle, pericoronitis in relation to the mandibular third molars, parotid fistula, preauricular sinuses, periapical and periodontal pathology, and many more. Patients might seek treatment from their physician as they are not aware of its odontogenic origin and these cases usually are misdiagnosed and leading to inappropriate treatment. Objective: To discuss the detailed management of two cases of extraoral draining sinus that were successfully treated. Case Reports: The first case was referred by the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, for management of extraoral draining sinus originating from tooth 36. In the second case, the extraoral draining sinus is caused by pulpal necrosis of several mandibular anterior teeth. Intra-radicular microorganisms in infected root canals primarily obligate anaerobes have been the aetiologic cause of apical periodontitis if left untreated may cause these types of symptoms. Conclusion: As it is uncommon and the absence of any dental symptoms, thus, it’s paramount important to diagnose these types of cases to treat the disease and to avoid unnecessary treatments such as prolonged prescription of antibiotics. Therefore, the dental cause should be ruled out for any cutaneous sinus tract so that a correct diagnosis can be ascertained, and proper management can be delivered to the patient.
