Abstract
Necrotizing cellulitis of dental origin is a serious disease with high morbidity and mortality. The observed case concerned a 57-year-old patient, with unbalanced diabetes affected by gangrenous cellulitis, following a chronic periapical infection being left untreated. The urgency of these case required the coordination of medical and surgical specialist teams, involving reanimation, drug therapy and surgical treatment. The inadequate treatment or chronic dental infections, associated with immunosuppression can lead to severe case of cellulitis. Early medico-surgical management should be carried out to prevent the onset of serious complications such as mediastinitis, septic shock, and thrombophlebitis.
