Pathways of Odontogenic Infection
Usual cause of odontogenic infection: necrosis of tooth pulp
and bacterial invasion through the pulp chamber into deeper tissues.
Pulp necrosis results from deep decay in tooth,(inflammatory reaction).
The pulpal foramen does not allow drainage of the infectedpulp.
Further progression leads to medullary space infection andosteomyelitis.
More commonly, get fistulous tracts through alveolar bone.
Fistulous tract may penetrate oral mucosa or facial skin .

MICROBIOLOGY OF ODONTOGENIC INFECTIONS
Usually caused by endogenous bacteria Aerobic bacteria alone rarely causative agents
Streptococcus species are usually the etiologic organisms if
aerobic bacteria present
Half odontogenic infections: anaerobes Most odontogenic infections due to mixed flora
Mixed infections may have 5-10 organisms present
Bacterial composition :
1. 5%-aerobic bacteria
2. 60%-anaerobic bacteria
3. 35% mixed aerobic and anaerobic bacteria

Local symptoms
Pain.The severity of the pain depends on the stage of development of the inflammation.In the initial phase thepain is dull and continous and worsens duringpercussion of the responsible tooth and when it comesinto contact with antagonist teeth
Edema.Edema appears intraorally or extraorally and itusually has a buccal localization and more rarely palatalor lingual.
Usually the edema is soft with redness of the skin.
Other symptoms.There is a sense elongation of theresponsible tooth,slight mobility and difficulty inswollowing.

Spread of pus inside tissues
From the site of the initial lesion, inflammation may
spread in three ways :
- by continuity through tissue spaces and planes
- by way of the lymphatic system- by way of blood circulation

Fascial Spaces
Fascial planes offer anatomic highways for infection tospread superficial to deep planes
Antibiotic availability in fascial spaces is limited due topoor vascularity
Treatment of fascial space infections depends on I and D
Fascial spaces are contiguous and infection readilyspreads from one space to another (open primary and
secondary spaces)
Despite I and D the etiologic agent (tooth) must beremoved

time, develop into chronic infections, resulting in spontaneous
drainage intraorally or on the skin.

8/22/2019 CELLulitis 1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/cellulitis-1 59/183
Treatment
Treatment consists of eliminating the infection from the
responsible tooth with endodontic therapy or in conjunctionWith surgical treatment (apicoectomy),when endodontic therapy
alone does not produce the desired results.
Usually in intraoral fistulas, the fistulous tract disappears a fewdays after endodontic therapy begins,without requiring
intervention for excision of the opening.
In extraoral fistulas, though, after treating the infected site, thefistulous tract must be excised as far as the bone cavity and,
after debridement,must be sutured tightly.

The canine fossa,which is where this type of abcess
develops, is a small space between the levator labiisuperioris and the levator anguli oris muscle.
Etiology : Infected root canals of premolars and canine of
the maxilla are considered to be responsible for thedevelopment of abscesses of the canina fossa.
Clinical :
- edema,localized in the infraorbital region,medial canthusof the eye,lower eyelid and nose.
- painful during palpation.

1. Ocular findings include erythema and swelling of theeyelids, and ophthalmoplegia
2. Cavernous sinus thrombosis1. Can result from hematogenous spread of
odontogenic infections
2. Bacterial routes of spread:1. Posterior: via pterygoid plexus or emissary veins
2. Anterior: via angular vein and inferior or superior ophthalmicveins to the cavernous sinus
3. Veins of the face and orbit valve less so retrograde flow canoccur

Treatment :
The incision for drainage is performed on the skin,
approximately 1 cm beneath and parallel to the inferior
border of the mandible.

Secondary Mandibular Spaces
Referred to as secondary spaces since they are infected after involvement of primary mandibular spaces
Failure to treat a primary space infection or a compromisedhost results in secondary space involvement
Connective tissue fascia has poor blood supply hencetreatment usually surgical to drain purulent exudates
The secondary mandibular spaces include the masseteric,pterygomandibular, and temporal spaces

In the initial stage, cellulitis feels soft or doughy during
palpation, without pus present, while in more advanced
stages, a board-like induration appears,whichmay leadto suppuration.
At this stage, the pus is localized in small focal sites in

Treatment :
large doses of antibiotics are administered (penicillin or

Drainage may be performed in one or more sites tofacilitate evacuation of the exudate.
In grave cases admission of the patient to a hospital is
recommended.

Ludwig’s Angina is a grave acute cellular infection and ischaracterized by bilateral involvement of the submandibular
and sublingual spaces as well as the submental space.
Abstract Ludwig’s Angina is a rapid progressive cellulitisof the submandibular , sublingual and submental spaces,with potential for significant upper airway obstruction.
First described by Wilhelm Fredrick Von Ludwig in 1836,
then by Camerer in 1837.

The most frequent cause of the disease is

the mylohyoid muscle.
Clinical. Severe pain
severe difficulty in swallowing, speaking and breathing,
drooling of saliva

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/cellulitis-1 149/183
This is treated surgically with surgical decompression
(drainage) of the spaces of infection and concurrent
administration of a double regimen of antibiotics.
The incisions must be bilateral, extraoral, parallel,and
medial to the inferior border of the mandible, at the
premolar and molar region and intraoral, parallel to the
ducts of the submandibular glands.
