Despite achievements in Lithuanian health care system and good accessibility to medical service, life threatening infections of odontogenic origin are still prevalent in Lithuania. Aim of the study: To analyse the prevalence of odontogenic maxillofacial infections and to examine distribution of treatment facilities accepting patients with acute odontogenic infections in Lithuania. Methods: A five-year (2009-2013) retrospective study included information about all patients treated in outpatient (N=482) or inpatient (N=61) treatment facilities in Lithuania, Adjusted Inci- dence Ratios of acute odontogenic maxillofacial infections were calculated separately for each type of infection and for each year, and each type of treatment facility. Results: High annual incidence of acute odontogenic maxillofacial infections, i.e. ~1% of a total population was diagnosed.

ABSTRACT Objectives The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence, demographic patterns and management of odontogenic infections in patients undergoing treatment in an outpatient dental emergency service of a university hospital. Materials and methods In a retrospective study of the year 2012, all patients suffering from odontogenic infections were included. Demographic data, diagnosis and the conducted treatment were analyzed. Odontogenic infections were defined as pulpitis, apical and marginal periodontitis, abscesses and pericoronitis. Results A total of 2,058 out of 4,209 emergency patients suffered from odontogenic infections. The majority (45.0%) had an apical periodontitis, 20.8% abscesses, 17.3% a marginal periodontitis, 16.3% a pulpitis and 5.8% a pericoronitis. Mean age was 37.5 ± 17.0 years standard deviation (SD) (1.2-96.4). Most patients were 20 to 29 years (24.6%), followed by the age group of 30 to 39 year old patients (21.0%). Males were affected more frequently (55.5%) than females (45.5%). Most of the patients (64.5%) of the patients received a dental or surgical treatment. Antibiotics were prescribed in 31.7% of cases. Amoxicillin was the most common prescribed antibiotic (54.5%). Conclusion Odontogenic infections represent one of the main reasons for consulting the emergency service. Due to the high number of cases and the severe complications, dentists have to be familiar with the surgical management of odontogenic infections as well as the appropriate use of antibiotics. Clinical significance Nearly half of all patients who sought, treatment in the emergency service had an odontogenic infectious disease. This should be considered for the organization and planning of the service. How to cite this article Mahmoodi B, Weusmann J, Azaripour A, Braun B, Walter C, Willershausen B.

A infecção odontogênica é um grave problema de saúde pública. O atendimento hospitalar fica basicamente direcionado a atenção aos casos mais graves que requerem tratamento imediato de antibioticoterapia endovenosa bem como remoção urgente da causa. Sendo assim, o objetivo é apresentar um caso de paciente de 43 anos de idade, sexo feminino, queixando-se de dor em região de dente 24 com aumento volumétrico evidente assim como drenagem espontânea de exsudato via sulco gengival. O tratamento após exames complementares de rotina foi a exodontia do elemento dentário sob anestesia local em atenção hospitalar associado a drenagem da coleção purulenta. Após eliminação da causa bem como a drenagem, 48 horas destas a paciente recebeu alta hospitalar com retorno programado.
