Abstract

Multiple intra-oral sinus tracts of dental origin are an uncommon condition. Patients with this condition may undergo surgical extraction, biopsies and antibiotic regimens, but all of them fail with the recurrence of the sinus tract. A proper diagnosis and management are important, to avoid any complications. This case report has described the conventional root canal treatment of a patient who had three distant intra-oral sinuses which had occurred due to an intact tooth with pulp necrosis, who had a history of accidentally biting on a hard food object and having a periapical radiolucency which indicated a chronic periradicular abscess. At follow up examination, the tooth was found to be asymptomatic and radiographically, it showed repair of the lesion.
