- 18. INDIANA UNIVERSITY Simple IntraoralIncision and Drainage 1. Simple stab incision approx. 1cm-2cm in length down to bone. 2. Insert a closed, curved hemostat into the incision to break up any loculations. Remember to scrape and stay on bone. 3. Express and suction any remaining purulence 4. Silk tie penrose drain (optional) 5. Copious irrigation with NS 6. Apply gauze pressure to obtain hemostasis
- 19. INDIANA UNIVERSITY Simple IntraoralIncision and Drainage • Wound cultures are not indicated unless the patient is immunocompromised or the infection is recurrent • Be wary of mental nerve which lies just between bicuspids • Make sure to stay on bone to avoid excessive bleeding or damage to adjacent structures • If cellulitis is present; you may not obtain frank puss

- 23. INDIANA UNIVERSITY Complications 1. Minorpostoperative pain, swelling, bleeding, drainage, and possibly bruising can be expected following the incision and drainage of a dental abscess. 2. Significant postprocedural bleeding can be controlled with pressure, a vasoconstricting local anesthetic agent, or topical Gelfoam.
Editor's Notes
- #3 Rigid fixation showing great promise in reduction of relapse, greater patient comfort, earlier jaw mobilization, and quicker return to function
- #4 Dental abscesses arise when bacteria penetrate the normal anatomic and physiologic barriers of the tooth and surrounding structures. Periapical and periodontal abscesses require no immediate treatment in the ED and can be referred to the dentist for Root Canal, cleaning, or cavity filling.
- #5 If left unchecked, it can lead to a progressive destruction of the dental supporting tissues, including the alveolar bone An incision and drainage procedure is warranted if the infectious process extends outside the alveolar bone and involves the soft tissues It may perforate laterally to form a vestibular abscess. Alternatively, it may perforate medially to form a palatal or lingual abscess.
