Success Of Treatment

Odontogenic infections (OI) are a major reason for consultation in dental practice. They affect people of all ages, and most of them respond well to current medical and surgical treatments. The aim of this paper is to emphasize different and rare etiological factors that can play a role in odontogenic abscesses, which can lead to complications. A 54-year-old man complaints of pain and swelling on the upper front-side of his face. Physical examination of the face showed enlargement and swelling in the upper front region. Panoramic radiograph images showed a radiolucent appearance of the canine region. Based on the results of the clinical and radiographic examinations, the patient was diagnosed with a bilateral canine space infection. The treatment performed was FNAC (Fine neddle aspiration cytology) from canine region followed by intraoral drainage incision at the most prominent part of swelling (Modified Hiltons method), 5 ml of pus was removed, postoperative dressing was applied and regular follow-up was done with continued antibiotic therapy. Bilateral canine space abscess is a rare odontogenic infection that can cause life-threatening complications. The success of treatment requires early recognition, determination of etiological factors, and appropriate medical and surgical management. To perform treatment of odontogenic infections, the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon should understand the terminology regarding infectious diseases and pathophysiology. The success of treatment requires early recognition, determination of etiological factors, and appropriate medical and surgical management.

Relationship Factors

The route of facial infection usually depends on the jaw-tooth relationship factors followed by virulence and type of microorganisms. Staphylococci are frequently associated with abscess formation. However, at times head and neck infection with an odontogenic origin are caused by gram-negative species like Klebsiella pneumonia without any predisposing opportunistic infectious etiology. In this report, we presented 3 rare cases of buccal space infection associated with Klebsiella pneumonia without any predisposing systemic disease. Appropriate diagnosis followed by antibiotics oral cephazolin (500mg BID) and intra-muscular gentamicin (150mg BID) at adequate strength and duration has brought a significant decrease in the progression of the disease that yielded complete recovery after 10days. Thus with odontogenic infections it is appropriate to always begin with the empiric antibiotic regimen with correlation to clinical presentation thinking of the most likely suspected microorganisms, which are usually the normal flora of the region, without forgetting the importance of early surgical intervention to reduce morbidity and complications.

Objective: Canina fossa abscesses are rarely reported in the literature. Tooth infection is often derived from bacteria associated with the abscess. Canina fossa abscesses can lead to the development of secondary abscesses, infection of incisors and canines in the upper jaw and maxillary sinusitis infection.Methods: Odontogenic infections can easily spread throughout the muscles and the face, which can cause abscesses mucolabial or accumulation of pus in the eyelid and face. Results: Patients experienced a history of pain and fever. Physical examination showed enlargement and swelling of the right cheek and panoramic radiographs appear radiolucent on the apex of tooth tip 13. Treatment included an intraoral drainage incision at the apex of the tooth 13 and continued administration of antibiotic therapy.Conclusion: Successful treatments require early recognition, determination of etiological factors, and appropriate medical and surgical management.

Chronic lead encephalopathy must be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric patients who present with manifestations of schizophrenia, behavior disorders or degenerative diseases of the central nervous system. Determination of urinary coproporphyrin is a simple, fast screening procedure applicable to office practice. The prognosis for normal mental development following encephalopathy is poor. It is hoped that early recognition of the more subtle signs of central nervous system involvement will allow treatment to be instituted soon enough to prevent the crippling mental deterioration which is so often a sequela of lead poisoning.

Rare Case Report

Abstract Background Pineal region tumors are commonly present in the pediatric age group. However, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) is very rare at this region, and only few case reports have been reported till now in literature. Case presentation Here, we report a rare case of pineal region, juxta-thalamic, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) in an 11-year-old male child. The child presented with severe headache after which MRI was done. It was suggestive of pineal region low-grade tumor. The patient was operated in Parkbench position with SCIT (supracerebellar approach) in a retractor-free manner. Gross total resection was done. However, the patient developed postoperative left-sided hemiparesis. It got improved in 1 month, and the patient became ambulatory. Histopathology came out as pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma. Conclusion Surgical management should include careful resection near the internal capsule to avoid postoperative hemiparesis. Also, shunt should be delayed in the cystic cavity created by resection of tumor.

Cutaneous involvement of dental sepsis is a rare occurrence in children. It often presents as a diagnostic dilemma, especially in the absence of oral symptoms, with initial presentation to non-dental professionals. This article discusses three cases of children presenting with cutaneous involvement of odontogenic origin to two paediatric dentistry departments in the UK. All cases had delayed presentations and were initially submitted to ineffective treatment, with significant impact on the children’s well-being. Final management included antibiotic therapy, drainage and extraction of the septic tooth. These three cases highlight the importance of considering a dental aetiology for localized inflammatory and purulent skin lesions of the mandible. Prompt diagnosis and early treatment are determinant for early resolution and avoidance of systemic or psychological complications. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This article discusses diagnosis and management of three different presentations of odontogenic sepsis with cutaneous involvement in children.

Cutaneous Sinus

Chronic apical periodontitis associated with dental pulp necrosis is the main cause of odontogenic extraoral cutaneous sinus openings. These tracts are often initially misdiagnosed unless the treating clinician considers a dental aetiology. This case report of a 19-year-old woman describes the diagnosis and treatment of an extraoral cutaneous sinus tract of odontogenic origin. Non-surgical conservative endodontic therapy was opted as the involved teeth were restorable. One month after the completion of obturation, there was closure of the sinus tract. One year follow-up showed complete resolution of the sinus tract with minimal scar formation.

Pleural space infections are a common clinical entity affecting a large number of patients. These are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality rate and they require significant healthcare resources. In this chapter, we discuss the disease characteristics with regards to the etiology (primary and secondary), clinical presentation, radiological findings, different stages of the condition and treatment options according to stage at presentation. Conservative management (medical treatment, pleural drainage, with or without intrapleural fibrinolytic) may be effective in management of simple pleural space infections, but surgical management may be required in loculated complex empyema to prevent acute sepsis, deterioration and trapped lung. Surgical treatment of complicated pleural infections either by VATS or thoracotomy will be discussed in order to understand when to perform debridement/decortication of the pleural cavity or less frequently a thoracostomy.
