Q

origin of canine space abcesses and presentation

A

from the upper anterior teeth and bicuspids but is ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY FROM THE MAXILLARY CANINE TOOTH

will present with unilateral facial redness, pain, and swelling lateral to the nose with obliteration of the nasolabial fold is characterisitc

severe upper lip and lower eyelid swelling may cause eye closure and drooling at the corner of the mouth

hyoid bone

30
Q

sublingual space (SL) contains

A
sublingual gland
deep submandibular gland and duct 
lingual nerve and submandibular ganglion 
lingual artery and branches 
the hypoglossal nerve
31
Q

communications with the sublingual space

A

submandibular region or the masticator region

32
Q

infection with the sublingual space

A

mandibular molars and pre molars that have their roots ABOVE the mylohyoid line

33
Q

lateral border of the sublingual space

A

body of the mandible

34
Q

medial border of the sublingual space

A

base of the tongue

35
Q

inferior border of the sublingual space

A

mylohyoid muscle

36
Q

superior border of the sublingual space

A

mucosa of the floor of the mouth

37
Q

ludwing’s agina

A

aggressive, rapidly spreading cellulitis (infection) involving bilateral sublingual, submandibular, and submental spaces

neck and floor of mouth may become so swollen that breathing may be compromised, necessitating the creation of an artificial airway

38
Q

major causes of ludwig’s angina

A

ODONTOGENIC in 90% of cases and arises from the SECOND AND THIRD MANDIBULAR MOLARS 75% of cases because the roots of these teeth extend BELOW the level of the attachment of the mylohoid muscle

39
Q

T/F ludwig’s angina has the potential for adjacent retropharyngeal and mediastinal infection

A

TRUE - if it spreads through the buccopharyngeal gap or space created by the styloglossus muscle between the middle and superior constrictor muscle of the pharynx

40
Q

is the infratemporal space a primary or secondary space

A

it is a primary space- however it is in the masticator region (associated with secondary spaces - BESIDES THE INFRATEMPORAL SPACE)

41
Q

superficial temporal space

A

between the temporal fascia and the temporalis muscle

42
Q

deep temporal space

A

bwtween the temporlis muscle and the lateral surface of the skull

43
Q

contents of superficial and deep temporal space

communications

A

contain losse aerolar tissue and communicate below the zygomatic arch with the masticator region, infratmeporal region and pterygopalatine fossa

44
Q

infections with the temporal spaces

A

mandibular 3rd molar infections and spread to this region

45
Q

masticator region

A

this region or space lies on either side of the mandibular ramus and is formed by the cervical fascia that ASCENDS from the neck and SPLITS AT THE INFERIOR BORDRER OF THE MANDIBLE to envelop the area

46
Q

subdivisions of the masticator region

A

infratemporal space (considered primary but in this region)
masseteric (submasseteric)
pterygomandibular space

47
Q

infections into the masticator regions

A

spread from infections from the 2nd or 3rd mandibular molars may spread to these secondary sites

48
Q

masseteric / submasseteric space

A

a POTENTIAL SPACE located between the masseter muscle and lateral surface of the ramus of the mandible.

it is an area od a zone of insertion of the masseter muscle that is less dense, permitting detachment of the periosteum from the bone

49
Q

A

buccal fascia

50
Q

A

parotid fascia

54
Q

inferior border of the masseteric space

A

mandible

55
Q

infratemporal space

57
Q

62
Q

Pterygomandibular space contents

A

include the alveolar nerve, artery and vein, lingual nerve and chorda tympani

63
Q

pterygomandibular space communications and infection source

A

mandibular 2nd and 3rd molars

communicates with a wide range of spaces like the superficial temporal, buccal, submasseteric, and submandibular
