RESUMEN
Extraoral sinus tracts of endodontic origin might be confused for a variety of dermatological conditions. Differential diagnosis of this clinical condition plays an essential role in providing appropriate clinical care because misdiagnosis is the most prevalent cause of prolonged therapy and healing failure. As a result, every cutaneous sinus structure affecting the face or neck should be investigated for dental issues. Its diagnosis can sometimes be difficult until the treating clinician examines the potential of a dental cause. Once an appropriate diagnosis has been established, definitive treatment, consisting of root canal therapy or tooth extraction, to remove the primary source of infection is a straightforward and successful operation.
RESUMEN
Cryotherapy in vital pulp treatment is a procedure that involves the use of extreme cold temperatures to manage inflammation and promote healing in the dental pulp tissue.

Vital pulp therapy (VPT) aims to preserve the vitality and function of the dental pulp. With the proper diagnosis, technique, and materials, it can effectively treat moderately inflamed pulp and minimize the need for more invasive procedures.
