A Rare Case of Buccal Migratory Abscess Related to Mandibular Third Molar

Acute pericoronitis usually presents with severe localized pain, swelling and sometimes trismus.However, chronic pericoronitis and periodontal abscess produce a dull pain, moderate swelling and are occasionally seen migrating into distant sites producing fistulae intra-orally and/or extra-orally.Here, we present a case of a migratory abscess with intraoral sinus tract formation, at a considerable distance from the site of origin.Only two such cases have been published as of now.
