Abstract
- Maxillofacial infections f rom odontogenic or non-odontogenic causes can extend to the fascial space, a potential space formed by the fascia. Although morbidity due to infection has been considerably reduced because of modern antibiotic therapy, it can be life-threatening when the infection invades the deep fascial space. There are various causes of infection in the maxillofacial region, mostly following odontogenic or invasive dental treatments. We report a case of severe infection of the fascial spaces and deep neck af ter non-invasive dental treatment involving recementation of the implant crown in a male in his 60s, with reporting on its causes and treatment options.
