oral bacteria B Flashcards
endo disease progression
carious lesion can infect or inflame pulp leading to abcess or inflammed ligament
Dentoalveolar infections
Pyogenic infections associated with the teeth and surrounding supporting structures
Bacteriology of root canal infections
Endodontic infections are endogenous infections that are opportunistic
most frequent spp of root canals
bacteroids and prevotella
Presentation of dentoalveolar infections
- Abscess localized to tooth that initiated the infection
- Diffuse cellulitis which spreads along fascial planes
- Mixture of both
Dentoalveolar Abscess: routes of access to pulp/periapical tissue
- Spread from carious lesion (1)
- Tooth fracture/wear
- Through periodontal membrane and accessory root canals (2)
- Anachoresis (3) (via pulpal blood supply) during bacteremia from tooth extraction at different site
are dentoavleolar infections local or can they spread
Infection may remain localized or spread
O2 use of species commonly in abcesses
obligate or facultative anaerobes
spp commonly found at abcesses
Ludwigs Angina
spp involved?
risk?
A spreading, bilateral infection of the sublingual and submandibular spaces. Cellulitis of the fascial spaces rather than true abscess formation
Mixed endogenous infection: Porphyromonas spp. Prevotella spp. Fusobacteria Anaerobic streptococci
Airway obstruction - death by asphyxiation (without intervention)
Periodontal Abscess
species?
A localized collection of pus caused by acute or chronic destruction of the periodontium
Endogenous, subgingival plaque bacteria
Porphyromonas spp.
Prevotella spp.
Fusobacteria
Anaerobic streptococci
Suppurative Osteomyelitis of the Jaws
species
like abcess but involves bone
polymicrobial Porphyromonas spp. Prevotella spp. Fusobacteria Anaerobic streptococci
Cervicofacial Actinomycosis
presentation?
speceis?
endogenous, granulomatous disease
65% in cervicofacial region
Actinomyces (oral commensal)
visible granules in pus called sulphur granules = collections of bacteria
Oral manifestations of bacterial infections: diseases we have learned
syphilis
leprosy
tuberculosis
Syphilis oral manifestations
congenital: Hutchinson’s incisors, mulberry molars
primary and secondary syphilis lesions
gummas (granulomatous lesions)
