ABSTRACT

The case report of a 56 year-old patient who lost the obturation of the superior right canine and visited the estomatological service of "Mártires del Moncada" Teaching Provincial Estomatological Clinic in Santiago de Cuba with intense pain and incipient apical sepsis, requesting a new obturation to relieve his symptoms is described. The specialist detected the newly found infection, and alerted him on the possible complications, but due to the insistence of the affected patient she filled the tooth once more; in consequence, few hours later an acute facial cellulitis was developed with periorbital compromise, which improved only when administering wide-spectrum intravenous antibiotics.
