A persistent sinus tract following a tooth extraction surgery in a 30-year-old male required further investigation. Radiological and clinical evaluations were performed to diagnose the chronic maxillary inflammation and guide a third surgical intervention.

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Oral Radiology
Oral Surgery

Background:

A 30-year-old male presented with chronic maxillary inflammation.
History of two surgeries for an unerupted right second premolar, with recurrent sinus tract formation postoperatively.

Observation:

A draining sinus tract was noted on the buccal aspect of the alveolar process.
Intermittent purulent exudate discharge from the tract between the right maxillary first molar and first premolar.

Findings:

Clinical examination confirmed pus discharge.
Radiological assessment included periapical, panoramic, and tomographic imaging of the affected maxillary region.

Implications:

The case highlights the importance of thorough radiological evaluation for chronic inflammatory conditions of the maxilla.
