orofacial 2, dental caries, perio Flashcards
fascial space infections can come from
- pericoronitis
- bacterial sialadenitis
two things that can result from fascial space infection
- ludwig’s angina
- cavernous sinus thrombosis
dentoalveolar abscess can lead to
- osteomyelitis
- dry socket
- fascial space infection
- endocarditis
what can cause dentoalveolar abscess
- periodontal abscess
- endodontic infection
periodontitis is associated with what systemic disease
endocarditis
dry socket usually occurs in which teeth
lower 2nd and 3rd molars
fascial space infections usually occur in what region
submandibular
pericoronitis
infected flap over tissue over 3rd molar (DO surface)
bacteria can spread along
muscle attachments
how do bacteria spread along muscle attachments
-produce hyaluronase and other matrix destructive enzymes
where do the bacteria target the muscles ad which teeth are effected
sublingual area
mandibular 2nd and 3rd molars due to
deep fascial space infections usually come from which teeth
lower 2nd and 3rd molars
symptoms of space infection
board like hardness
which bacteria cause space infections
- normal oral flora (often the strep bacteria)
- anaerobic oral bacteria may be present
which Abx will you give for fascial space infection
- penicillin (to kill the strep)
- clindamycin if they dont get better with pen (bc anaerobic) OR metronidazole +pen
dentoalveolar infections can lead to what (most commonly)
maxillary sinusitis
cavernous sinus thrombosis follows the spread of odontogenic infection along 2 pathways:
- anterior facial vein
- pterygoid plexus of veins
symptoms of cavernous sinus thrombosis
- swelling of eyelids
- protrusion of eyeball
- restricted movement of eyeball
- bleeding in retina
ludwig’s angina description
- swelling of head and neck spaces
- difficulty breathing
main cause of ludwig’s angina
cellulitis
*50-90% of cases were due to dental cource of infetion
teeth most commonly involved with ludwig’s angina
mandibular 2nd and 3rd molars
treatment for ludwig’s angina
- parenteral abx
- airway monitoring
- i and d
non odontogenic infections of oral cavity
- pericoronitis
- bacterial sialadenitis
- angular cheilitis
- ulcerative mucositis
- noma (gangrenous stomatitis)
pericoronitis
- infection of flap of gum tissue
- usually 3rd molars
- pts usually older teens and early 20s
