ABSTRACT

Isolated cases of space infections from primary teeth with a systemic condition are usually rare. If such cases occur, the ensuing systemic condition causes easy spread of infection causing involvement of several tissue spaces. In this condition, evaluation and care of systemic infection is of utmost importance in conjuction with local oral etiology. Common systemic cause of facial infection is resistance to commonly used antibiotics. In following case, both the systemic as well as local oral etiology was taken care.
