ABSTRACT
Presented are data on morphological characteristics of maxillofacial odontogenic phlegmons observed in 98 patients with chronic periodontitis. The phlegmons have arisen in the presence of chronic inflammation of the soft tissue. Microbial flora in the inflammation focus proved opportunistic, abundant in nonclostridial anaerobic agents. Its composition contributed to morphological varieties of the phlegmons. There is a relationship between apparent destructive fasciitides and myositides and aerobic-anaerobic associations. Mechanisms of resistance to infection involve inhibited bactericidal activity of nonenzymatic cationic proteins of polymorphonuclear leukocytes reflecting nonspecific resistance in inflammation. Immunity status of the organism seems normal.
