Abstract
- Seven months later, the female returned for treatment due to more apparent lip swelling (Fig. (e, f) Complete resolution of lip swelling and intraoral cobblestone formation gl Herein, we describe a healing case of OFG which may be caused by tooth infection with no pharmaceutical application. Dear Editor, Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) is an uncommon chronic inflammatory disorder which typically presents as recurring lip swelling, ulceration, and a cobblestone appearance of the buccal mucosa.1,2 Histologically, the condition is marked by non-caseating granulomas.1 The treatment of OFG is difficult, particularly in the absence of etiology.3 Therefore, the aim of this study is to report a case of OFG which may be caused by tooth infection, and the healing of the condition was treated with no pharmaceutical application.
