Complex odontogenic infections can spread through facial spaces compromising structures of the face and airways compromising health and requiring immediate intervention and treatment. Thus, the aim of this paper is to present a clinical case of a patient with severe infection of odontogenic origin disseminated in the right hemiface. A 56-year-old male patient was admitted to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology Department of the Maria Rosa Pedrossian University Hospital (Humap-UFMS), Campo grande, MS. Clinically he presented right hemifacial edema, limited mouth opening, presence of fistulas, erythema in the region of the tonsillar pillar, hardened mouth floor to palpation and tooth 16 with extensive fracture. Radiographically, he presented a radiolucent image in the periodontium associated with the molar region on the right side. Laboratory tests showed leukocytosis, anemia and elevated CRP. Given the clinical, imaging, and biochemical data, antibiotic therapy was initiated, followed by surgery under general anesthesia for drainage, removal of the dental element, and placement of drains. After clinical and laboratory improvement, the patient was discharged.
