Isolated Actinomycosis of the Hard Palate Incurred Subsequent to Local Anesthesia

Abstract

Tissue necrosis associated with local anesthesia and actinomycosis is rare. Here, the authors present management of excessive palatal necrosis associated with local anesthesia and actinomycotic infection. In oral surgery a simple procedure can lead to severe complications. Thus, preformation of any surgical procedure with a rigorous manner preferably by a qualified clinician may prevent the occurrence of this type of complications.
