The most common site for spread of dental infections that break out of the alveolar bone on the facial side is?

vestibular
nasopalatine canal
mandibular canal
maxillary sinus

The correct answer is: vestibular

The correct answer is vestibular. This is because the most common site for the spread of dental infections that break out of the alveolar bone on the facial side is through the vestibular (buccal) space. When an infection breaches the bone, it can easily extend into the soft tissues of the face through this space due to its proximity. The other options (nasopalatine canal, mandibular canal, maxillary sinus) do not represent the most common pathway for the spread of dental infections that break out of the alveolar bone on the facial side.
