    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Context:

    • Cancrum oris, historically fatal, remains prevalent in resource-limited African settings.
    • The disease originates from acute ulceronecrotic gingivitis, leading to extensive facial gangrene.
    • Affected individuals present with severe destruction of the dental arch, maxilla, and facial soft tissues.

    Purpose:

    • To outline the therapeutic challenges in managing sequelae of cancrum oris.
    • To highlight the necessity of surgical reconstruction for functional and morphological restoration.

    Summary:

    • Cancrum oris begins as acute ulceronecrotic gingivitis, progressing to gangrene that destroys facial structures.
    • Sequelae present complex functional and morphological deficits.
    • Treatment involves a range of surgical reconstruction techniques.

    Impact:

    • Addresses the critical need for reconstructive surgery in cancrum oris survivors.
    • Improves quality of life by restoring function and form.
    • Informs public health strategies for disease prevention and management in vulnerable populations.
