    Sinus tracts commonly originate from maxillary teeth, often linked to chronic periapical abscesses and broken restorations. Lingual or palatal sinus tracts are frequent, necessitating careful examination by practitioners.

    Area of Science:

    • Endodontology
    • Oral Pathology

    Background:

    • Sinus tracts, indicative of underlying periapical pathology, are a common clinical finding.
    • Understanding their prevalence and characteristics aids in diagnosis and treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence, anatomical location, and distribution patterns of sinus tracts.
    • To identify associated etiological factors and radiographic findings in patients seeking endodontic consultation.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort study involving 1,119 patients referred for endodontic consultation.
    • Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed to determine sinus tract origin, path, and lesion diameter.
    • Data on signs, symptoms, tooth site, and location were statistically analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Sinus tracts predominantly originated from maxillary teeth (63.1%) and were frequently associated with chronic periapical abscesses (71.0%) and broken restorations (53.0%).
    • Buccal orifices were most common (82.4%), but lingual/palatal orifices, particularly in mandibular molars, were also observed.
    • A strong correlation (86.8%) was found between apical sinus tracts and apical rarifying osteitis.

    Conclusions:

    • Sinus tracts on the lingual or palatal gingiva are relatively common findings.
    • Routine dental examinations should include vigilant assessment for signs of sinus tracts to ensure timely diagnosis and intervention.
