Abstract
Drug-induced angioedema is a rare but potentially life-threatening side effect of increased levels of bradykinin. It may be overlooked and diagnosed as a dental-related problem due to its appearance as facial swelling, A clear understanding of the pathophysiology of angioedema can better serve both physicians and dentists in providing the most appropriate care for patients.
