Cerebral abscesses of odontogenic origin are uncommon. Cerebral abscesses are often caused by cardiac and pulmonary disease or infections such as skin or abdominal infections. However, there have been some reported incidences of cerebral abscesses caused by odontogenic infection. This paper aims to discuss a case report whereby an odontogenic infection was the most probable cause of a cerebral abscess in a paediatric patient. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To discuss the importance of oral disease as a potential causative factor for cerebral infection.

Aim: The aim of this report is to describe the management of a prosthodontic patient expressing unrealistic expectations with respect to the transition to edentulousness. Objectives: To outline (1) the diagnosis and explicit expectations of the patient on presentation (2) considerations made during treatment planning to address the wishes of the first time prosthodontic patient (3) a sequential treatment plan utilizing transitional partial removable dentures to manage the change to edentulousness (4) functional and aesthetic result achieved. Results: Delivery of immediate removable partial dentures retaining key abutment teeth in upper and lower arches was a viable prosthodontic solution in the transition to edentulousness of a patient expecting unrealistic treatment outcomes. Conclusions: Addressing impractical expectations and devising a treatment plan amenable to both clinician and patient is difficult. Strategies to manage these wishes in prosthodontic dentistry can include transitional partial dentures. Clinical relevance: Practitioners who encounter similar situations may consider this report valuable.

Odontogenic Origin

Toothaches typically originate from the odontogenic structures such as dentin, pulp and periodontium. Toothaches which have an odontogenic origin are managed effectively in the dental clinic; however, toothaches with a nonodontogenic origin are often difficult to identify. This article presents a case of trigeminal neuralgia that was misdiagnosed as pain of odontogenic origin and initially treated surgically and endodontically, despite no abnormality detected in the physical examination or X-ray. The aim of this article is to present a case of trigeminal neuralgia that may mimic odontogenic toothache. This case highlights the importance of having thorough knowledge and the appropriate clinical skills to differentiate both odontogenic and nonodontogenic toothaches, as well as the need for careful diagnosis before undertaking any treatment.
