RODRIGUEZ CALZADILLA, ORLANDO L. Celulitis facial odontógena. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 1997, vol.34, n.1, pp. 15-20. ISSN 1561-297X.

A group of patients affected with odontogen facial cellulitis is presented. The results obtained during the treatment are shown, since sometime their referral to the Maxillofacial Surgery Service is delayed. The comprehensive general stomatologists should take such results into consideration and include them in the curricula. Most of the 40 patients studies were 15 years and over. The greastest incidence was observed among the females (57.5 %). Those who were referred early had a satisfactory evolution.
