Aim: The aim of the present article was to critically evaluate the available literature regarding gingival abscess and highlight a case report. Background: Abscesses are one of the main causes for patients to seek emergency care in the dental clinic. This condition has clinical implications, not only diagnostic, but also, prognostic and therapeutic, in everyday periodontal practice. Case description: This case report especially highlights the prevalence of the use of inappropriate aids to remove impacted food. Conclusion and clinical significance: It becomes necessary that we bear this basic fact in mind when we come across such periodontal emergencies before we arrive at a conclusive diagnosis. |
