CHAP 3-INFECTIONS OF THE MAXILLARY BONES Flashcards
ALV E O L A R O S T E I T I S
SYMPTOMS
- PAIN (irradiated to ear)
- Abscence of the blood clot
- Occurs between the first and fourth day
- May last 1 - 2 weeks
- Halitosis, malaise and anorexia
ALV E O L A R O S T E I T I S
Anatomoclinic forms
Dry Socket==>Empty socket + intense pain
Suppurative alveolar osteitis==>Remains of blood clot + pus, less pain.
Marginal alveolitis==>Intermediate situation between the two previous
Phlegmon-like==>Invasion of adjacent sockets
OSTEITIS
Circumscribed lesions with no
tendency to produce bone
sequestrum
OSTEOMYELITIS
Diffuse lesions with sequestrum
formation
OSTEOPERIOSTITIS
CLINICAL FORM
1)ACUTE (AXHAUSEN )
2)CHRONIC
OSTEITIS
1)ACUTE (suppurative)
2)CHRONIC ( sclerosing or condensing )
OSTEOMYELITIS
1)INFANTS
2)ACUTE
3)CHRONIC
4)GARRE’S
localisation
MAX-MAND
Max 1 MAND 10
Rarefaction Stage
Osteolytic (by decreasing Ph) and osteoclastic occurrences
Necrosis Stage
Etiologic agents: Vascular and compressive occurrences
and toxins.
Sequestrate formation
Condensation Stage
Condensing osteitis: reparative action
Periosteum condensing reaction forms “Involucrum”
around sequestrate
(foramina of Troja: small holes into).
ACUTE OSTEOPERIOSTITIS
Axhausen’s osteoperiostitis
1) Children ( mandible )
2) Etiology==>dental infections
3) Exudate that separates the periosteum from the bone
4) Lack of clinical and radiological correlation
5) Swelling , pain , fever ? , fistulae
CHRONIC OSTEOPERIOSTITIS
1) After acute forms (inadequate treatment)
2) Low virulent infections
3) Slight symptoms
4) DIAGNOSIS RADIOLOGY
(Onion layers)
5) Pseudotumoral or pseudosarcomatous
forms (when it’s strictly localized )
ACUTE OSTEITIS (SUPPURATIVE)
1) IN MAXILLA OR MANDIBLE
2) CIRCUMSCRIBED INFECTION
3) ETIOLOGY: GRANULOMAS PERICORONITIS
POST-EXTRACTION ALVEOLAR FRACTURES
4) SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: LOCALISED SWELLING + INTENSE PAIN
5) Rx: SIMULATE CYSTS (lytic area well defined but no sclerosed in the boundary)
6) CORTICAL BONE OSTEITIS OF DECHAUME
(Secondary to localized mucosal or cutaneous processes that spread by contiguity)
CHRONIC OSTEITIS
▪ Sclerosing or condensing
▪ Stimulation of osteoblasts
▪ Few symptoms
▪ NEURALGIFORM PAIN (few cases)
▪ X rays CONDENSATIONS NEAR THE APEX
independent from radicular cement
ACUTE OSTEOMYELITIS
▪ Etiology odontogenic infection
▪ Pain, trismus, fever, asthenia.
▪ Swelling in the mandibular region
▪ Tooth mobility
▪ Vincent’s sign +
▪ Patients with systemic diseases,
malnutrition
▪ Rx LARGE SEQUESTRUM
Symptoms of Actue osteomyelitis
1-Initial phase
2-infection phase
3-Sequestrum phase
4-Recovery phase
