Gas producing phlegmon (gas gangrene) rarely occurs in the head and neck region, and the prognosis is poor. Two patients with non-Clostrigium gas gangrene caused by dental infection were reported.<BR>Case 1, an 82-year-old female, consulted our hospital with painful swelling of the buccal and temporal regions after extraction of the mandibular first molar. Case 2, a 33-year-old female, consulted our hospital with painful swelling of the submandibular region after root canal treatment of the mandibular third molar. CT scan of these two patients showed phlegmon with a gas product. They underwent surgery under general anesthesia on the first examination day, and the prognosis was good.
