As a result of the clinical and radiographic evaluation, the diagnosis of fistulized submandibular lodge abscess originating from tooth No. 46 was made and root canal treatment was performed.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="TR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Conclusion and Discussion: Long-lasting chronic endodontic infections can infect the anatomical sites of the tooth from the periapical area, along with the increase in pressure as a result of acute exacerbation. In such infections, it is vital to provide drainage through the root canal and/or the lodge area.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="TR" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Keywords: Extraoral Fistulization, Chronic Apical Abscess, Lodge Abscess<o:p></o:p></span></p>
