2. General Dentist and GPs are the first point of reference to the
patients.
3. Get acquainted with the “Eight Step Approach” in managing
Acute Bacterial infections of Dental origins.

6. CLINICAL ANATOMY
Once infection is set it has 3 fates-
The body's defence systems over- power the
microorganisms.
The infection changes from acute to
chronic form and persists.
Spreads in aggressive manner.

8. CLINICAL ANATOMY- TAKE HOME POINTS
Spread of Infection is dependent on Host
response and Bacterial load.
Infection tends to follow path of least
resistance.
As spaces are interconnected- need for rapid
action.

11. DIAGNOSTIC STUDIES- TAKE HOME POINTS
CT with Contrast is the Gold Standard
USG useful in Superficial infections
CRP is an expensive test but a useful
one.

19. Indications-
Severity of Infection.

Immunologic Compromise
Non Responsive Previous treatment
Nosocomial Infection
Indian Clinical scenario needs to be taken into consideration.

Inj Piptaz- Rs 450 per vial
450*3*7=9450
Injection Clindamycin- Rs 250/ vial
250*3*7= 5250
25. For Out Patient Patient
Follow up is important the nexr day.
To inform you in case of deterioration..
8.Re-evaluate Frequently
Criteria for hospital discharge
T <100 for 24 hours
Increase in oral intake of food
Drains out
Clinically decrease in swelling size
Systemic disease under control
ambulation
For In Patient-
Daily follow up
Post surgical care- monitor tempreture, WBC
COUNTS, C-RP levels, BSL levels
Manage the drain.
26. Treatment goals- Take Home Points
Surgery + Medicine = Success
Knowledge of antibiotics is a must for
a successful treatment outcome.

Determining the anatomical spread of infection is
foundation of entire treatment.
When in doubt about patients condition, always
hospitalize.

27. Specific Treatment Technique- Surgical aspect
Identify the spaces.1

Blunt Exploration of entire anatomic spaces, opening up of all tissue planes.
Placement of Drain.
Secure Drain.

29. • Nasal intubation done.
• LA infiltration.
• Palpation for most dependent
area.
41. Surgical Treatment
Priority one – Airway management
Immediate Surgical decompression.
separate incision in submandibular region and
Submental incision.
Placement of Rubber drain
Medical management- Piptaz+clinda
Metro can be added in extreme cases where there is gangrenous material.
42. Ludwigs Angina- Take Home Points
Primary treatment is surgical.1

45. OTHER NON DENTAL ORIGIN INFECTIONS-
Mucormycosis
• Most fatal, opportunistic, acute fungal infection.
• Source- mucorace family, found normally in the oral cavity.
Type Clinical notes
Rhinonasal/ Rhinocerebral Involves- orbit, nose, CNS
Pulmonary Seen in patients with malignancy
GIT Malnourished patients
Cutaneous Burns patients
Disseminated Rare, severe
46. OTHER NON DENTAL ORIGIN INFECTIONS-
Mucormycosis
.
Management-
1. Use of GMS stain, culture with saboraud glucose agar.
2. Start with antifungal – amphotericin B.(0.5mg/kg)
3. Debridement of entire tissue, if orbital involvement-
exenteration is mandatory
4. Management of acidosis and neutropenia
5. Monitor renal health- amphotericin B is renal toxic.
6. Extremely poor survival rate.

The aim of understanding these aspects will help n delivering optimum standard of care.
This is one of the most fundamental aspect of infection happening in the body. Whenever there is decrease in host resistance, the normal oral inhabitant microbes become dominant. Which leads to infection.

the infection gets localized to form an abscess which drains spontaneously on the surface.

As clinicians we should be able to atleast demarcate the extent of spread of infections as that is he basis of treatment we need to do.
Once we identify the
Once we identify the
The severity is dictated by criteria- its effect on airway or vital structures.
Low severity- Usually can be treated on out pt basis
Moderate severity- potential to hinder the airway and thus making intubation difficult.
High severity have the ability to directly deviate or compress the airway or affect vital structures.
One with extreme severity are already in a compromised state and need immediate, surgical/medical intervention
Taking a through history we can confirm about the same.
Never rely on Fasting PP….always use HB1Ac. Involving a physician is mandatory for adjusting insulin units.
Why to choose antibiotics carefully-
