[Mandibular actinomycosis].
We report a case of mandibular actinomycosis secondary to dental surgery in a 19-year-old male. The major features of this clinical entity are described. Loss of the integrity of the oral mucosa was the determinant factor in our case. Systematic realization of panoramic radiographs of the jaw is proposed as a means of excluding lower maxillary involvement secondary to Actinomyces infection.
