[Cheek perforation of dental origin and the effect of anti-inflammatory drug treatment during self-medication. Apropos of a case].
Complications of dental caries not treated and mal-treated are frequent in Africa (cellulitis, osteitis, etc...). Patients consult late due to effective automedication with anti-inflammatory agents but the continuing pathological process leading to fistulae, perforation and persistent pain are finally the reasons of consultation. We present a case of a young Ivorian student of 22 years we have received after one year of erratic treatment with a right jaw perforation.
