title: Healing of a sinus tract of periodontal origin.
abstract: A sinus tract adjacent to teeth is usually considered to be of endodontic origin and root canal therapy is the primary treatment to achieve healing. A case of a sinus tract is presented in which a suspected endodontic-periodontic lesion was successfully treated by periodontal therapy alone. The sinus tract healed and the radiograph showed bony repair.
