Topic: Spread of Odontogenic Infection:
INTRODUCTION:
Odontogenic Infection could originate from the following foci as an abscess
- periapical periodontis- Dentoalveolar abscesss
- Periodontal infection- Periodontal abscess
- Pericoronitis around an impacted tooth- Pericoronal abscess
From these places the abscess could spread as follows:
- Cervical Lymphadenopathy
- Cellulitis-Involvement of Deep Fascial Spaces
- Osteomyelitis
Cellulitis-Involvement of Deep Fascial Spaces
First these primary areas can get involved in the spread of odontogenic infection
From upper anterior teeth
Labial space, Palatal space, Canine Fossa
Labial space, Palatal space, Canine Fossa
From upper posterior teeth
Buccal space, Palatal space, Maxillary sinus
Buccal space, Palatal space, Maxillary sinus
From lower anterior teeth
Labial space, Sublingual space, Submental space
Labial space, Sublingual space, Submental space
From lower posterior teeth
Buccal space, Sublingual space, Submandibular space
Buccal space, Sublingual space, Submandibular space
These Secondary Tissue Spaces can get involved with persistent infection
Submasseteric space, Infratenporal space
Other Deep spaces- Lateral Pharyngeal, Paraphrayngeal, Retropharyngeal, Mediastinal
Other Deep spaces- Lateral Pharyngeal, Paraphrayngeal, Retropharyngeal, Mediastinal
Involvement of multiple spaces:
Ludwig's Angina
Bilateral involvement of Submandibular and Sublingual spaces
Bilateral involvement of Submandibular and Sublingual spaces
Principles of Management
Abscess and Cellulitis
Removal of the focus if infection
Incision and drainage
Antibiotic therapy
Submasseteric space Infection- through-&-through drainage
