ABSTRACT

Ludwig’s angina is an infection-caused disease mainly affecting the floor of the mouth. It is essentially produced by second and third molar abscesses; it has an insidious beginning, so it has to be always taken into account because if it is diagnosed late, it may have fatal consequences. The most serious complications are the obstruction of the high air ways, glottis edema and descendant mediastinitis. The treatment is based in three essential supports, given by general measures, antibiotic and surgical treatment.
