Abstract
The cutaneous sinus tract is an uncommon disease. It is difficult to diagnose exactly of odontogenic cutaneous sinus tract for dentists or dermatologists except experienced clinicians or previously known clinicians. Many patients may be treated with repeated surgical excisions, biopsies, and antibiotic medications, but most of them could be frustrated with the recurrence of disease. There are several methods for diagnosis of odontogenic cutaneous sinus tract - such as GP cone tracing, conventional computed tomography(CT), periapical x-ray imaging, and cone beam computed tomography(CBCT). This case report describes the diagnosis and treatment of odontogenic cutaneous sinus tract that referred from medical doctors.
