Pyogenic orofacial infections are most commonly odontogenic in origin. Although such infections are usually self-limiting and spatially confined, purulent material may occasionally burrow deeply into contiguous fascial spaces or planes far from the initial site of involvement.
Early diagnosis and appropriate therapy may be unduly delayed if the possibility of a dental source of infection is not recognized.
The aim of this work is to assess the spread of mandibular infections of odontogenic origin by computed tomography, conventional radiography and clinical findings.
Fifteen patients of both sexes(3 females and 12 males) of age range 20-40years and presented with mandibular odontogenic infections were selected for this study.
All cases were complaining of one or more of signs and symptoms of infection that represented by pain, swelling, edema, fever, and trismus.
All the selected cases were subjected to the following examination procedures:
1-Thorough case history
2-Thorough clinical examination
3-Radiographic examinations that include both of conventional & computed tomography techniques
