Abstract
An elderly patient with a medical history of Type 2 diabetes and hypertension, a complex clinical presentation of dental abscess leading to necrotizing fasciitis, thorough examinations, pertinent laboratory findings, radiological results, multidisciplinary evaluations, a definitive diagnosis, and a meticulously designed treatment plan is the subject of this extensive case report, which offers an in-depth analysis of a unique clinical case. The report emphasizes the case's importance in terms of its instructive value and the practical implications it provides for therapeutic practice. With the help of the multidisciplinary team and extensive assessments, a complete treatment plan comprising surgical procedures, medication, and therapeutic modalities was developed. This case study highlights the value of interdisciplinary cooperation and highlights significant insights discovered in managing medical cases.
