Abstract
Orocutaneous fistula (OCF) of facial region is uncommon. The most common etiology is odontogenic infection involving pulp. In most cases diagnosis is easy; and specific treatment can be started leading to cure. A case of OCF of posterior mandibular region of periodontal origin is reported here in this paper. The diagnosis became difficult as impacted third molar was totally covered with soft tissue. Fistula tract was traced till mandibular third molar. Surgical removal of third molar was performed and excision of sinus tract was done. The treatment leads to complete healing of the fistula site. No reoccurrence was seen after 1 month follow up.
