The patient\u2019s history revealed that the patient had been hit by several punches to the face a few months earlier. To investigate the swelling, an intra-oral radiograph, an orthopantomographic radiograph, and computed tomography were performed, which revealed no fracture of the lower jaw but the presence of a partly impacted fractured wisdom tooth (third molar). This finding, together with the clinical status, indicated cellulitis most likely related to the presence of a fractured wisdom tooth. The decision was made to proceed with tooth extraction, and follow-up at 3 weeks showed good healing and complete resolution of facial swelling. This case highlights that odontogenic infection can also occur as a result of necrosis following the fracture of an impacted wisdom tooth.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/reports7030050","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,21]],"date-time":"2024-06-21T05:33:28Z","timestamp":1718948008000},"page":"50","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Facial Cellulitis of Unusual Odontogenic Origin"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7804-2388","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandre","family":"Perez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Oral Surgery and Implantology, Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Department of Surgery, Geneva University Hospitals, Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva, 1205 Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-9763-0266","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valerio","family":"Cimini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Oral Surgery and Implantology, Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Department of Surgery, Geneva University Hospitals, Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva, 1205 Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vincent","family":"Lenoir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Radiology, Diagnostic Department, Geneva University Hospitals, University of Geneva, 1205 Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9347-3736","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tommaso","family":"Lombardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of Oral Medicine and Oral Maxillofacial Pathology, Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Department of Surgery, Geneva University Hospitals, Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva, 1205 Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"13","article-title":"Odontogenic facial cellulitis","volume":"21","author":"Sugai","year":"2020","journal-title":"BMJ Case Rep."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jds.2012.05.011","article-title":"Odontogenic cellulitis in children requiring hospitalization","volume":"8","author":"Kuo","year":"2013","journal-title":"J.
