Abstract
Generally it is well Known that the steroid agents have strong antiphilogistic actions. Therefore, when the steroid agent is clinically used, antibiotic agents must be used, at the same time, for secondary infection. The authors experienced a case of serious mandible inflammation from secondary infection, in which case, the patient had been for 5 years treated for nephlitis with the steroid agents without antibiotics. The patient was a female, 24 years old, and complained of swelling, bleeding, a spontaneous pain in 〓 area, and paralysis of the left mandible and the lower lip. We treated the patient with antibiotics and non-steroid antiphilogistic agents, discontinuing the administration of the steroid agents. A successful result in extracting causal teeth was obtained.
