Cellulitis and phlegmons of dental origin in the CHU of Yaoundé. Cellulitis and phlegmons are frequent complications of teeth infections in tropics in general and particularly in Cameroon. They concern all ages and affect more men than women. These pathologies are more developed in disfavoured social classes. Their frequency is very high among pupils and students, whose the financial power depends on poor parents. Cellulitis and phlegmons are more induced by molar's infections. The upper and lower parts of the check were the most frequent. These pathologies disturb the life because of pain they entertained and they can modify life prognosis. They constitute emergencies for diagnosis and treatment.
