Abstract

The submandibular abscess is part of a deep neck abscess. A deep neck abscess is formed in a potential space between the deep neck fascia due to the spread of infection from various sources, such as teeth, mouth, throat, paranasal sinuses, middle ear and neck. Infection that occurs in the submandibular space originates from infection of the floor of the mouth teeth, pharynx, and submandibular lymph nodes. A 31-year-old female patient came to the emergency room of Sultan Fatah Hospital Demak with clinical symptoms leading to a submandibular abscess, where there are complaints that the right cheek is swollen to the neck, the lower right wisdom tooth sometimes hurts and has holes. Radiological examination performed on the patient showed the impression of an abscess at the apical impaction of the tooth. Laboratory tests were found normal.
