Cellulites et phlegmons sont des complications des infections dentaires, fréquentes en zone tropicale en général et au Cameroun en particulier. Elles concernent tous les âges, affectent plus le sexe masculin que féminin. Elles sont très répandues dans les classes sociales défavorisées. Leur fréquence est plus élevée chez les élèves et étudiants, financièrement dépendants des parents qui eux-mêmes sont démunis. Les dents le plus souvent à l’origine de ces complications étaient les molaires. Les formes géniennes hautes et basse ont été les plus rencontrées. Ces pathologies perturbent la vie à cause des douleurs qu’elles induisent et peuvent mettre en jeu le pronostic vital, faisant d’elles des urgences diagnostiques et thérapeutiques.

These pathologies disturb the life because of pain they entertained and they can modify life prognosis. They constitute emergencies for diagnosis and treatment.
