Abstract

When local anesthetic agents are injected through the integument of the body, surface microorganisms may be introduced into the underlying tissues. Pathogenic microorganisms of the oral cavity, for example, may be introduced by the injection needle into deeper tissue. A case of needle tract infection was documented and is presented in this article.
