Odontogenic infections are caused by endogenous oral bacteria and range from mild to severe. They typically involve multiple bacteria including streptococci, staphylococci, and anaerobes. Infections progress through inoculation, cellulitis, and abscess stages. They can spread directly through tissue or via lymph nodes and blood vessels. Severe cases involve fascial space infections in areas like the buccal, submandibular, or infratemporal spaces. Prompt treatment involves tooth extraction or root canal therapy along with antibiotics.
Fascial spaces are potential spaces between layers of deep fascia that can become infected. There are both primary and secondary fascial spaces related to odontogenic infections. Primary maxillary spaces include the labial vestibular, infraorbital, buccal, and infratemporal spaces. The infraorbital space contains the infraorbital nerve and can lead to swelling of the eyelid. Secondary spaces include the periorbital space, which if infected can cause orbital cellulitis, a serious infection. Infections spread between fascial spaces through connections between the spaces.
Fascial spaces are potential spaces that exist between the fasciae and underlying organs and other tissues.infection of orofacial & neck region, particularly those of odontogenic origin,have been one of the most common diseases in human being.

1. Buccal, canine, palatinal, submental, submandibular, sublingual and other superficial abscesses originate from infected teeth and progress through four stages from asymptomatic infection to localized pus formation and abscess.
2. Abscesses are diagnosed through history, examination including palpation, and imaging when needed. Treatment involves incision and drainage of pus, removal of the infecting source, and antibiotics.
3. Specific abscesses are named according to their location and have characteristic signs, symptoms, and treatments. The document describes several types of head and neck abscesses in detail.
Ludwig's angina is a life-threatening infection of the soft tissues of the floor of the mouth and neck that involves three compartments - sublingual, submental, and submandibular. The infection is rapidly progressive and can lead to airway obstruction. It is most often caused by dental infections, with roots of premolars causing sublingual space infections and roots of molars causing submaxillary space infections. Treatment involves systemic antibiotics, incision and drainage of abscesses internally or externally depending on infection location, and potentially tracheostomy if the airway is endangered. Complications can include spread of infection to deeper spaces and structures as well as airway obstruction, sepsis, and aspiration pneumonia

Ludwig`s Angina history and examination and management.pptxMuhammad Rizwan
Ludwig's angina is a severe bacterial infection of the sublingual, submandibular, and submental spaces of the neck. It is usually caused by a dental infection that spreads. Clinical features include swelling of the neck and floor of the mouth, difficulty swallowing and breathing, and a muffled voice. Treatment involves securing the airway, intravenous antibiotics, and surgical drainage of abscesses if present. Prompt treatment is needed to prevent potentially life-threatening complications from spread of the infection.
Vertical bone defects occur after tooth extraction as bone remodeling leads to resorption. There are several classifications of alveolar ridge defects based on the amount and location of bone loss. Key factors for implant success include respecting the per-implant soft tissue and optimal implant positioning and angulation. Common techniques for treating vertical bone defects include guided bone regeneration, osteoperiosteal flap ridge-split, distraction osteogenesis, and block grafting. These use bone grafting materials and biomaterials as scaffolds to regenerate bone. Future advances like growth factors, stem cells, and 3D printing may improve outcomes. Sinus lifts can augment the posterior maxilla where resorption has left insufficient bone for dental implants.

Endodontic surgery is performed to preserve natural teeth when a root canal fails to heal the tooth or resolve issues related to previous root canal treatment. It involves surgically accessing and treating damaged tissues outside the tooth root that have become infected or inflamed. Some common reasons for endodontic surgery are a failure of nonsurgical root canal treatment, need to remove calcium deposits or repair damaged roots/bone, and to retrieve broken instruments. It is done by an endodontic surgeon to resolve symptoms when other options have been exhausted.
The document discusses oral candidiasis, a common fungal infection caused by Candida species that is more prevalent in diabetics. Risk factors for diabetics include high salivary glucose levels, low saliva secretion, and impaired immune defenses. Symptoms include white patches or lesions in the mouth and throat that can cause soreness. Treatment involves antifungal medications applied topically or taken orally. Preventive measures for diabetics include controlling blood sugar, drinking water, cleaning dentures, and removing dentures at night.
Thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by a decrease in the number of platelets in the blood below the normal range of 150,000-450,000 per microliter. Platelets are important for blood clotting and preventing bleeding. Thrombocytopenia can be caused by decreased platelet production, increased platelet destruction, or sequestration of platelets in the spleen. Common causes include immune thrombocytopenia, drug reactions, viral infections, genetic disorders, liver disease, and pregnancy. Symptoms range from easy bruising to spontaneous bleeding and are dependent on severity. Diagnosis involves blood tests and identifying the underlying cause to guide treatment such as medications, platelet transfusions, or splen
The document discusses several theories on how fluoride reduces dental caries. The pre-eruptive theory states that fluoride taken during tooth formation can change tooth composition and morphology by replacing hydroxyl groups in tooth enamel with fluoride. The post-eruptive theory explains that fluoride in saliva and plaque reacts with tooth enamel to enhance remineralization and form calcium fluoride or fluorapatite crystals. Topically applied fluoride at high concentrations can also interfere with bacterial growth and metabolism. Fluoride reduces caries by increasing enamel resistance, promoting remineralization of early lesions, and interfering with cariogenic plaque bacteria.
Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a rare condition caused by infection or trauma that leads to a blood clot forming in the cavernous sinus, which is located at the base of the skull. Symptoms include swelling of the eyelids, pain with eye movement, and vision changes. Diagnosis is made through imaging tests like CT scans or MRI that show filling defects or high signal intensity in the cavernous sinus.
This document discusses pediatric operative dentistry and cavity preparation in primary teeth. It provides information on the objectives of restorative treatment in primary teeth, reasons for preservation of primary teeth, anatomical differences between primary and permanent teeth, and classifications and preparation of different cavity types (Class I-VI) in primary teeth. It also describes different matrix bands and retainers used for various cavity preparations in primary teeth.
Candida albicans is a dimorphic fungus that can cause infections in humans. It is normally present in the gastrointestinal tract and vagina in small amounts, but can overgrow and cause infection when the immune system is compromised. Common symptoms of candidiasis include oral and vaginal thrush, skin rashes, and nail infections. Diagnosis involves examining samples under a microscope or culturing the organism. Treatment involves antifungal medications. Prevention focuses on maintaining good hygiene and a healthy diet.
Superficial fungal skin infections can be caused by dermatophytes, Pityrosporum, or Candida. Dermatophyte infections (tinea) present in various forms depending on the infected area, such as tinea capitis affecting the scalp. Pityrosporum infection causes pityriasis versicolor, presenting as macules on the trunk that fluoresce under wood's light. Candidiasis can infect skin, nails, and mucous membranes. Diagnosis involves clinical examination, microscopy, culture, and wood's light testing. Topical and oral antifungals are used for treatment.
This document discusses cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. It notes that CMV transmission occurs through direct contact with infected white blood cells or blood products. In organ transplant recipients, CMV can be transmitted through the donor organ. CMV infection is usually asymptomatic but can cause mononucleosis-like symptoms. It establishes latency after initial exposure. CMV infection most commonly involves the eyes, gastrointestinal tract, and mucocutaneous sites in immunocompromised people like those with AIDS. Treatment involves antiviral medications like ganciclovir or valganciclovir.
This document discusses several viral infections that can cause oral ulcers and vesicles, including herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella zoster virus (VZV), and cytomegalovirus (CMV). It describes the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of primary and recurrent infections caused by these viruses, noting they typically present as painful oral ulcers. Management involves pain control, supportive care, and antiviral medication like acyclovir to reduce symptoms and transmission risk. Complications in immunocompromised patients can be severe, warranting systemic antiviral treatment.
The document discusses orofacial pain and provides details on evaluating and diagnosing different types of facial pain. It describes:
1) How to clinically evaluate pain based on its onset, localization, characteristics, course, and factors that alter it. Inability to localize pain or radiation may indicate a neurogenic component.
2) The main types of chronic orofacial pain which are musculoskeletal, neuropathic and neurovascular. Neuropathic pain includes trigeminal neuralgia and glossopharyngeal neuralgia.
3) Trigeminal neuralgia is characterized by severe, brief, stabbing pains on one side of the face and can be caused by neurovascular compression. Glossopharyngeal neural

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
2. INFECTION OF THE FASCIAL SPACES
• Fascial Spaces: are potential spaces,
they are surrounded by muscles,
loose C.T. and bone, they contain
different anatomical structures and
they are separated by collection of
pus, blood or by surgeon's finger.
• The infection spreads readily from
one space to another
3. INFECTION OF THE FASCIAL SPACES
• Fascial spaces are sometimes
classified as primary; which
are directly adjacent to the
origin of the odontogenic
infections, and secondary; that
become involved following the
spread of infection to the
primary spaces.
5. INFECTION OF SPACES IN RELATION TO
THE LOWER JAW
1. Submental space infection
2. Submandibular space infection
3. Sublingual space infection
4. Buccal space infection
5. Masticator spaces infection
6. Lateral pharyngeal space infection
7. Retropharyngeal space infection
8. Peritonsillar abscess or Quinsy
7. 1. SUBMENTAL SPACE INFECTION
• Anatomic boundaries
• this space lies between the
Mylohyoid muscles above, skin,
subcutaneous tissue, Platysma
muscle and deep cervical fascia
below, laterally by lower border of
the mandible and anterior bellies of
Digastric muscle.
• It contains submental lymph nodes
8. 1. SUBMENTAL SPACE INFECTION
• Source of infection
• directs source from infected lower
incisors and canines, lower lip, skin
overlying the chin or from the tip of
the tongue and the anterior part of
the floor of the mouth.
• An indirect source of infection is
from submandibular spaces.
• The site of the swelling is the chin
9. 1. SUBMENTAL SPACE INFECTION
• The site of incision and
drainage
• is extraoral horizontal
incision through the skin
posterior to the crease
behind the chin
10. 2. SUBMANDIBULAR SPACE INFECTION
• Anatomic boundaries
• Mylohyoid muscle superiorly,
• anterior and posterior bellies of Digastric muscle inferiorly,
• hyoid bone posteriorly,
• Mylohyoid, Hyoglossus and Styloglossus muscles medially,
• laterally the space is bounded by the skin, superficial
fascia, Platysma, deep fascia and the lower border of the
mandible.
• This space contains the submandibular salivary gland and
lymph nodes in addition to facial artery and vein, lingual
and Hypoglossal.
11. 2. SUBMANDIBULAR SPACE INFECTION
• Source of infection
• from the lower molar teeth especially second and
third molars, as the infection perforates the lingual
cortex of the mandible below the Mylohyoid
muscle attachment.
• Infection can also spread from the tongue,
posterior part of the floor of the mouth, upper
posterior teeth, cheek, palate, the maxillary sinus
and the submandibular salivary gland.
• Indirectly the infection may spread from infected
sublingual and submental spaces
12. 2. SUBMANDIBULAR SPACE INFECTION
• Site of Swelling: the swelling bulges over and
obliterates the inferior border of the mandible
• Site of incision and drainage
• it is extraoral incision made parallel and about 2
cm. below the inferior border of the mandible to
avoid injury to the marginal mandibular branch of
the facial nerve, the incision extends through the
skin and subcutaneous tissue only while the space
is entered bluntly to avoid structures within the
space.
15. 3. SUBLINGUAL SPACE INFECTION
• Anatomic boundaries this is a V-shaped
space,
• it is bounded anteriorly and laterally by
the mandible, superiorly by sublingual
mucosa, inferiorly by the Mylohyoid
muscle and medially by Genioglossus,
Geniohyoid and Styloglossus muscles
16. 3. SUBLINGUAL SPACE INFECTION
• Source of infection
• it is usually from the premolar and less
commonly from molar teeth when the
infection perforates the lingual cortex of the
mandible above the attachment of the
Mylohyoid muscle.
• Indirectly the infection may spread from
submental and submandibular spaces.
• Infection from sublingual space may invade
the submandibular and pharyngeal spaces.
17. 3. SUBLINGUAL SPACE INFECTION
• Site of swelling: Clinically there is
erythematous swelling of the floor
of the mouth that may extend
through the midline since the barrier
between the two sublingual spaces
is weak, usually there is elevation of
the tongue.
18. 3. SUBLINGUAL SPACE INFECTION
• Site of incision and drainage
• intraorally by an incision through the
mucosa only parallel to Wharton's duct
and lingual cortex in anterioroposterior
direction and away from the sublingual
fold.
• may be drained extraorally through
submandibular and submental incisions
through the Mylohyoid muscle
19. LUDWIG'S ANGINA
• It is a massive firm
cellulitis, affecting
simultaneously the
submandibular, submental
and sublingual spaces
bilaterally. It is a very
serious conditions that
require immediate
treatment
20. LUDWIG'S ANGINA
Causes
Dental infections in 90% of the cases.
Submandibular salivary gland
infections.
Mandibular fractures.
Soft tissue lacerations and wounds
of the floor of the mouth
21. LUDWIG'S ANGINA
The term angina is related
to the sensation of
suffocation.
If untreated this condition
is almost fatal mainly due to
posterior extension of the
infection into the epiglottis
causing epigllotic edema
and respiratory obstruction.
22. LUDWIG'S ANGINA
• Signs and Symptoms:
• there is a firm extensive
bilateral submandibular
swelling,
• intraorally there is swelling of
the floor of the mouth that
raises the tongue which may
protruded
• The patient is toxic, feverish
and there is dyspnea and
difficulty in swallowing.
23. LUDWIG'S ANGINA
• Treatment:
securing the airway,
endotracheal intubation is
very difficult in this
situation, tracheostomy
may be needed, but it is
also difficult to perform due
to the massive neck edema.
24. LUDWIG'S ANGINA
• Treatment:
• Early surgical drainage of all the
infected spaces bilaterally under
local anesthesia.
• little pus is obtained since the
infection is usually cellulitis.
• Intravenous antibiotic, using a
combination of Penicillin and
Metronidazole.
25. 4. BUCCAL SPACE INFECTION
• Anatomic boundaries
• bounded by the Buccinator muscle
and buccopharyngeal fascia
medially, skin of the cheek laterally,
labial musculature anteriorly,
zygomatic arch superiorly, the
inferior border of the mandible
inferiorly and the
pterygomandibular raphe
posteriorly.
• It contains the buccal pad of fat,
facial artery and the parotid duct.
26. 4. BUCCAL SPACE INFECTION
• Source of infection of this
space can be related to both
jaws.
• The relationship of the origin
of the Buccinator muscle from
the alveolar bone and the
apecies of the upper and lower
premolars and molars
determines the direction of the
spread of infection from these
teeth.
27. 4. BUCCAL SPACE INFECTION
• Source of infection
• If the infection exits the alveolar
bone above the attachment of the
muscle in the upper alveolus or
below the attachment in the lower
alveolus, the infection spreads to
the buccal space. Otherwise the
infection spreads intraorally into the
vestibule where it can be drained
easily.
28. 4. BUCCAL SPACE INFECTION
• Site of swelling
• Usually the swelling appears in
the cheek, the inferior border
of the mandible can still be
palpated
29. 4. BUCCAL SPACE INFECTION
• Site of incision and drainage
• intraorally by a horizontal incision in the
buccal mucosa below the parotid duct,
• the incision should be through the mucosa
only, the space should be entered bluntly
using an artery or sinus forceps through the
Buccinator muscle to avoid damage to the
facial artery and nerve.
• The incision can be placed extraorally if the
pus points cutaneously.
31. 5. MASTICATOR SPACES INFECTION
A) MASSETERIC SPACE INFECTION
• Anatomic boundaries
• This space lies between the
outer surface of the ascending
ramus of the mandible
medially, the Masseter muscle
laterally and the parotid gland
posteriorly
32. 5. MASTICATOR SPACES INFECTION
A) MASSETERIC SPACE INFECTION
• Source of infection:

especially lower third molars,
it can also occur after fracture
of the angle of the mandible
or it can also spread from
buccal space
33. 5. MASTICATOR SPACES INFECTION
A) MASSETERIC SPACE INFECTION
• Site of swelling: The swelling is moderate
in size over the ascending ramus and the
angle of the mandible region.
• This infection is characterized by a
marked trismus.
• Chronic abscess can spread to the muscle
itself or it can cause osteomyelitis of the
ramus of the mandible.
34. 5. MASTICATOR SPACES INFECTION
A) MASSETERIC SPACE INFECTION
• Site of incision and drainage:
• extraorally below and behind the angle of the
mandible, the incision is carried through the
skin and the subcutaneous tissue then by
blunt dissection through the Platysma muscle
and the deep fascia, after incising the
attachment of the muscle at the angle the
periosteal elevator is inserted beneath the
muscle and in close contact with the outer
surface of the ramus of the mandible to drain
all the pus.
35. 5. MASTICATOR SPACES INFECTION
A) MASSETERIC SPACE INFECTION
• Site of incision and drainage:
Intraorally drainage can be carried out
through an incision along the anterior
border of the ramus of the mandible,
but in this case the drainage can be
insufficient as it is not in a dependent
point, also intraoral drainage may
prove to be very difficult due to the
presence of trismus.
36. 5. MASTICATOR SPACES INFECTION
B) PTERYGOMANDIBULAR SPACE INFECTION
• anatomic boundaries>
• medially by the Medial Pterygoid
muscle, laterally by the medial surface

• Site of incision and drainage:
• Intraorally can be drained through an
incision made just medial to the
pterygomandibular raphe and
dissecting along the inner surface of
the ramus., but the presence of
trismus can prevent efficient drainage.
41. 5. MASTICATOR SPACES INFECTION
C) TEMPORAL SPACE INFECTION
• Anatomic boundaries the
Temporalis muscle divide this space
into two spaces:
• Superficial temporal space; between
the muscle and temporal fascia.

• extraoral, through an incision
superior and parallel to the
zygomatic arch between the
lateral orbital rim and the
hair line.
44. 5. MASTICATOR SPACES INFECTION

• Site of incision and drainage:
Intraorally this space can also be
drained through an incision along
the anterior border of the
ascending ramus with the artery
forceps directed upwards on the
outer aspect of the ramus, but the
presence of trismus makes this
approach difficult.

swelling of the anterior
pillar of the fauces and a
bulge of the soft palate of
the affected side which
may reach the midline
and push the uvula.
• Also there is acute pain,
dysphagia.
56. 8. PERITONSILLAR ABSCESS OR QUINSY
• Site of incision and drainage the
incision is placed in the point of
maximum fluctuation, this can be
done under local anesthesia, if
general anesthesia is used the
anesthetist should be
experienced and good suction be

and the patient should be in head
down position.
58. 1. UPPER LIP INFECTION
• Infections of the upper incisors and canines can
spread to the upper lip usually on the oral side
of Orbicularis Oris muscle and points in the
vestibule.
• Infection of the upper lip can lead to serious
complications like orbital cellulitis or cavernous
sinus thrombosis by extension of infection
through the superior labial vein to anterior facial
vein to ophthalmic vein to cavernous sinus.

mucoperiosteum is strongly
attached in the midline and at the
gingival margin, pus may
accumulate beneath the
mucoperiosteum leading to its
separation from the underlying
bone
64. 4. SUBPERIOSTEAL ABSCESS IN THE PALATE
• Source of infection:
• it may spread from the apex of the
lateral incisor which is close to the
palatal bone.
• Also infection can spread from the

greater palatine vessels.
66. 5. MAXILLARY ANTRUM
• Infection from upper molars and
less frequently premolars may
spread to the maxillary antrum,
• . It causes acute sinusitis with facial
pain that worsens on bending or
leaning forward,

course leading to mucosal
thickening and polyps.
• Occipitomental radiograph shows
opaque maxillary sinus or fluid level.
67. 5. MAXILLARY ANTRUM
• Site of drainage: Pus may drain
partially through the sinus osteum,
• extraction of the causative tooth
leads to drainage of pus but it may
leave a defect in the floor of the
sinus and cause oroantral fistula.
• If the defect is small and with
antibiotic treatment the socket may
heal uneventfully, but larger defects
may require further management.
68. 6. INFRATEMPORAL SPACE INFECTION
• Anatomic boundaries this space is
bounded laterally by the ramus of the
mandible and the Temporalis muscle,
medially by lateral pterygoid plate,

upper molar teeth or through
contaminated needle from the
pterygomandibular space. Infection
may spread to the temporal space.
There could be moderate swelling in
the temporal region with trismus,
usually the patient is toxic with high
temperature.
70. 6. INFRATEMPORAL SPACE INFECTION
• Source of infection:. These
infections are serious since
they can spread through the
pterygoid venous plexus to the
cavernous sinus through
emissary vein or it can spread
to the middle cranial fossa with

intraorally Extraorally through an
incision in the upper and posterior
edges of the Temporalis muscle
within the hair line passing
downward, forward and medially.
73. CAVERNOUS SINUS THROMBOSIS
• It is a very serious ascending
infection, this infection has a
high mortality rate, although it
is not a fascial space infection
but it can be caused by
odontogenic infections
especially of upper teeth. It
can also result from upper lip,
nasal and orbital infections.
74. CAVERNOUS SINUS THROMBOSIS
• Anterior route; through the
valveless angular vein and inferior
ophthalmic vein.
