Which of the following infections initially and DIRECTLY involves teeth and associated tissue?
A)Odontogenic infection
B)Lymphadenitis
C)Endophthalmitis
D)Otitis media

Accepted Answer

Odontogenic infections originate from teeth and their surrounding structures, including the gums, jawbone, and facial muscles. Lymphadenitis is an infection of the lymph nodes and does not directly involve teeth. Endophthalmitis is an infection of the eye and otitis media is an infection of the middle ear, both of which are not related to teeth.
