RESUMEN
La fístula cutánea dental es una patología de difícil diagnóstico. Se presenta como una lesión supurativa crónica e indolora, cuya localización no siempre guarda relación con la pieza dental afectada. Su diagnóstico requiere un alto índice de sospecha, que habitualmente se confirma con radiografía. Se presentan seis casos que se manifestaron con lesiones de larga evolución, con supuración intermitente y apariencia clínica variable. A todos se les realizó ecografía de partes blandas para demostrar el trayecto fistuloso. Para determinar la localización del foco osteomielítico, a dos pacientes se les solicitó además una tomografía axial computada y a otros dos una radiografía periapical. La mayoría de las fístulas tuvo su origen en la arcada dental inferior.
ABSTRACT
Odontogenic cutaneous sinus tract is a condition difficult to diagnose. It appears as a painless, chronic suppurative lesion, with a location not always related to the affected tooth. Its diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, usually confirmed by radiography. We report six cases, all of them presenting with long lasting lesions, with intermittent drainage and variable clinical appearance. An ultrasonography was done in every patient, in order to demonstrate the sinus tract. To determine the location of the osteomyelitic focus, in two patients a computed tomography was done, and in other two a periapical radiography. Most sinus tracts were originated in the lower dental arch.
