Abstract:
A case is reported of a chronic facial sinus on the mandible. It is postulated that this was due to chronic mucosal trauma associated with a poorly adapted denture in a patient rendered immunosuppressed by poorly controlled type II diabetes. Previous treatment with antibiotics alone was unsuccessful. Healing was only achieved when antibiotics were combined with removal of the denture and improved diabetic control.
