Dental Plaque
Soft deposits that form the biofilm adhering to the tooth surface or other hard surfaces in the oral cavity, including removable & fixed restorations”
Bowen , 1976
Bacterial aggregations on the teeth or other solid oral structures
Lindhe, 2003
Dr. Ahmed M. Adawy, Professor Emeritus, Dep. Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. Former Dean, Faculty of Dental Medicine
Al-Azhar University. The Pathogenesis of infection in oro-facial region due to odontogenic origin is a common clinical issue. bacterial invasion to deeper tissues usually a spread from diseased dental pulp. Recent evidences indicated a multi-microbial nature. The spread of infection is governed by the thickness of the investing bone and the anatomical relation of the tooth root to the attached muscle. Infection could spread from one facial space to another, and the condition may be aggravated to life threatening situations.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
41. ME C HANISM OF FO C AL
INFECTION

blood stream or lymphatic channels from an
infected focus to a distant site where they may
incite a hypersensitive reaction in tissues.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
42. ORAL FO C I OF INFECTION

43. INFE C TION OF SPE C
IFI C TISSUE SPA C ES
Tissue spaces- Potential spaces situated
between planes of fascia that form natural
pathways along which infection may spread,
producing cellulitis, or within which
infection may become localized with actual
abscess formation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
44. Shapiro- The facial spaces are potential
tissue spaces which are compartments
that contain structures such as salivary
gland, fat or lymph node.
Many of these spaces run into each other,
allowing infection to spread from one
space to another.
