Q

What is a periodontal abscess?

A

It can be an acue infection that involves a localisd area of pus in the periodontium. Circumscribed - localised and confined to specific site.

z8 Rapid destruction of periodontal tissues: impacts prognosis. Can result in systemic infection.

Q

What are 3 aetiological factors for patients with pre-existing periodontitis?

A
  1. Reduced ability to drain = ↑ suppuration due to change in subgingival microbiotia/↓ host defence
  2. Foreign object in surrounding structures
  3. Incomplete calc removal
