ABSTRACT
Background: Odontogenic facial cellulitis is the most common septic process that can occur in dental practice, and may even cause the patient’s death.
Objective: Describing the behavior of odontogenic facial cellulitis in patients over 15 years of age attending the emergency service of the provincial department of maxillofacial surgery.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Camilo Cienfuegos General University Hospital of Sancti Spiritus. The population consisted of all patients with facial cellulitis who attended the emergency department of maxillofacial surgery in the period from January of 2009 to December of 2010, with the sample of 96 patients.
Results: Female sex was the most commonly affected in the age group between 21 and 29 years of age. Patients with this entity came to be treated between the first and third days, affected by the process mainly in its diffuse form.
Conclusions: In the period studied, odontogenic facial cellulitis behaved in Camilo Cienfuegos General Hospital of Sancti Spiritus similar to other national studies, although the time elapsing before the first follow-up maxillofacial appointment is longer.
