ASSESSMENT METHODS AND TREATMENT OF ODONTOGENIC PHLEGMONS IN CHILDREN: CLINICAL FEATURES AND MANAGEMENT
Abstract
Abstract
Odontogenic phlegmon is a serious purulent infection of the maxillofacial region
that originates from dental sources. In pediatric patients, the clinical course, diagnosis,
and treatment require special attention due to the anatomical and immunological
features of children. This paper discusses the clinical presentation, diagnostic
approaches, and therapeutic strategies for managing odontogenic phlegmon in
children.
