This document discusses odontogenic infections of the head and neck. It begins by defining fascia and describing how fascial spaces allow infections to spread. It then classifies infections based on the initially involved space, describes the pathways of spread, and lists various primary and secondary spaces that infections may enter. Complications are mentioned and treatment involves appropriate antibiotics as well as incision and drainage of involved spaces through different surgical approaches. Early recognition and treatment of odontogenic infections is important to prevent extensive spread.
Detailed description of diagnosis and management of maxillofacial and neck space infections. Discussion of anatomy of the spaces is also done in details. Drainage of such spaces are also discussed. Medical management is also discussed. Complications are also discussed.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.

41.
42. Lateral pharyngeal space
• Communicates
with several deep
neck spaces.
– Parotid
– Masticator
– Peritonsillar
– Submandibular
– Retropharyngeal
43. Treatment
• Absolute airway control
• Aspiration
• Anterior compartment drained via trans oral
approach
• Posterior also involved extra oral
submandibular approach
44. Retropharyngeal Space
• Entire length of neck.
• Anterior border - pharynx and
esophagus (buccopharyngeal fascia)
• Posterior border - alar layer of deep
fascia
• Superior border - skull base
• Inferior border – superior
mediastinum
– Combines with buccopharyngeal
fascia at level of T1-T2
• Midline raphe connects superior
constrictor to the deep layer of deep
cervical fascia.
• Contains retropharyngeal nodes.
46. Treatment
• Extraoral through carotid triangle through
lateral aspect of thyroid cartilage medial to
carotid sheath
• Intraoral through vertical incision in mucosa of
pharyngeal wall and blunt dissection through
superior pharyngeal constrictor and into the
space
47. Danger Space
• Entire length of neck
• Anterior border -
alar layer of deep
fascia
• Posterior border -
prevertebral layer
• Extends from skull
base to diaphragm
• Contains loose
areolar tissue.

• Same as retropharyngeal space
• Once in the space advance dissection through
the alar fascia
50. Carotid sheath abscess
• Extends from jugular
foramen and carotid canal
to mediastinum
• Tender swelling on lateral
aspect of neck
• Complications include
spread to chest and septic
venous thrombosis
• Drainage is from incision in
anterior lateral neck and
exploration of carotid
sheath
53. Principles of DRAINAGE
• MOST DEPENDENT PART
• IF IT IS MOST PROMINET PART THEN COUNTERINCION ON
MOST DEPEDENT PART
• PASSIVE DRAINAGE
• BREAK THE LOCULE VIA SINUS FORCEP OR INDEX FINGER
• DRAIN
• C AND ST
54. COMPLICATION
Ludwigs angina
• Involves submandibular
,sublingual and submental
spaces bilaterally.
• Characeristically brawny
hard swelling
• Floor of the mouth elevated
• Difficulty with respiration
• Edema of the glottis
67. CONCLUSION
• Early recognition of orofacial infections and
prompt appropriate therapy is absolutely
essential. A through knowledge of anatomy of
face and neck is necessary to predict
pathways of spread of infection and drain the
spaces adequately. Otherwise the infection
spread to such an extent causing considerable
morbidity and occasional death.
