title: [Massive infection of odontogenic origin (author's transl)].
abstract: 2565 patients with infections of odontogenic origin are reported. In only 34,8% of the cases the correct diagnosis was established. Purulent inflammations of the submaxillar area mostly occurred (49,9%) followed by the pharyngeal area (19,9%). Early signs of the spreading of the inflammation must be the indication to send the patient to the hospital to avoid complications.
