Curettage of a sinus tract

Should a sinus tract be curetted?

Translated version of the Turkish original

After the cause has been eliminated from within the canal, the sinus tract opening will heal spontaneously in most cases without curettage, but curettage does no harm either. It may be performed in cases that do not heal.
