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.

Treat Ment

Aim: This prospective observational study was conducted to find out “delay of starting adequate treat- ment” as a prognosis predictor of head and neck space infections.Material and method:50 patients were selected purposively with inclusion criteria of presence of head and neck space infections. The exclusion criteria was presence of any other co-morbid diseases. After proper evaluation and diagnosis, adequate treatment was provided. Structured questioner method was used to collect data related to delay of starting of treatment and outcome of disease.Result: In this prospective observational study, caries was the most frequent cause of space infection. Time elapsed in between starting of symptoms and initiation of adequate treatment (timing of starting treatment) was 8.52(±6.689) days. This delay of starting treatment causing increased recovery time significantly (P= < 0.001 level). However, there was no correlation in between delay of starting treat- ment and number of involved space infection but later has impact on recovery time.Conclusion: Information about delay of starting treatment and number of involved spaces can be used as a prognosis predictor in HNSI.Update Dent.

Maxillofacial Infections

Diagnosis of source of maxillofacial infection in paediatric patients can be challenging due to difficulty in eliciting a proper history and multiple potential sources of infection. Identification and removal of the nidus of infection with decompression and institution of antibiotic therapy as per the culture-sensitivity report form the mainstay treatment of the infection. Deviation from it may result in persistence or even progression of infection, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. In the past decade, the incidence of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection in the oral cavity has seen an upward trend. This has further led to an increase in complexity in the diagnosis of maxillofacial infections. In this case, the authors want to bring to light the challenges faced in managing a paediatric patient with persistent fascial space infection even after removal of the offending tooth, which signifies the importance of managing the infection by the time-tested protocol.
