title: [Diagnosis and therapy of non-odontogenic orofacial infections].
abstract: This article discusses the non-odontogenic inflammations of the oral mucosa, connective tissue, bone and temporomandibular joint. Their occurrence, course and treatment are related to the patient's immune status, and to microbial and environmental factors, as is always the case with infectious processes. The article concerns peculiarly several clinical and therapeutic consequences of non-dontogenic orofacial infections.
