    Area of Science:

    • Endodontics
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Dental Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Sinus tracts present diagnostic challenges, often leading to misdiagnosis.
    • Accurate localization of the causative tooth is vital for effective treatment planning.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a sinus tract near the left maxillary incisor.
    • The actual source of the infection was identified as the right maxillary incisor.

    Findings:

    • Initial misdiagnosis resulted in unnecessary endodontic treatment and apicoectomy on a healthy tooth.
    • Conservative endodontic treatment of the correct tooth (right maxillary incisor) resolved the sinus tract within five days.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the critical importance of diagnostic tracing radiographs in routine endodontic evaluations.
