Abstract

We report the case of a 40 year-old woman who presented third molar pericoronitis in neutropenia. she had undergone extraction of the right third mandibular molar. This may have been due to an infection in the extraction socket or part of the crown. There was no inflammation seen after transplant of umbilical cord blood.
