| Core Tip |
Odontogenic infection originates from pulpal or periodontal pathology. These pathologies can spread to the head and neck spaces and may lead to cellulitis or abscess formation. Severe forms may lead to a life-threatening condition such as airway obstruction. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography are considered excellent tools for detecting these infections. However, these tools have their advantages and disadvantages in imaging capability, convenience, and availability. The present study explores the potential of these two tools in the detection of odontogenic infection spread to fascial spaces. |
