Odontogenic Infections: Causes, Types, and Treatment
Odontogenic Infections
Odontogenic infections are primarily caused by bacterial plaque. The oral cavity contains different layers of organisms, such as streptococci and lactobacilli.

At this stage, they can only be eliminated by mechanical methods, such as brushing and flossing.
