With the introduction of processed sugar and flour in the Industrial Revolution, the diversity in oral bacteria dramati- cally decreased, allowing domination by caries-causing strains. As a result, the modern mouth basically exists in a permanent disease state. Reasonable versus Unreasonable Errors in Judgment Although a clinician is legally responsible for unreasonable errors in judgment, mistakes occasionally happen despite adherence to the standards of reasonable care. A mistake does A not prove malpractice unless the mistake is caused by a mal- practice error or omission.141 For example, accessory or fourth canals on molar teeth are frequently difficult to locate and may tax the best clinicians. Failure to locate an accessory or fourth canal does not conclusively constitute an unreason- able error of judgment. Rather, this may represent a reason- able error of judgment in the performance of endodontics. Nevertheless, if the additional canal could have been diag- nosed radiographically with diagnostic quality radiographs at different angles, the existence of a fourth canal should have been considered.

  • Natural History of Odontogenic Infection
    Natural History of Odontogenic Infection The usual cause of odontogenic infections is necrosis of the pulp of the tooth, which is followed by bacterial invasion through the pulp chamber and into the deeper tissues. Necrosis of the pulp is the result of deep caries in the tooth, to which the pulp responds with a typical inflammatory reaction. Vasodilation and edema cause pressure in the tooth and severe pain as the rigid walls of the tooth prevent swelling. If left untreated the pressure leads to strangulation of the blood supply to the tooth through the apex and consequent necrosis. The necrotic pulp then provides a perfect setting for bacterial invasion into the bone tissue. Once the bacteria have invaded the bone, the infection spreads equally in all directions until a cortical plate is encountered. During the time of intrabony spread, the patient usually experiences sufficient pain to seek treatment. Extraction of the tooth (or removal of the necrotic pulp by an endodontic procedure) results in resolution of the infection. Direction of Spread of Infection The direction of the infection's spread from the tooth apex depends on the thickness of the overlying bone and the relationship of the bone's perforation site to the muscle attachments of the jaws. If no treatment is provided for it, the infection erodes through the thinnest, nearest cortical plate of bone and into the overlying soft tissue. If the root apex is centrally located, the infection erodes through the thinnest bone first. In the maxilla the thinner bone is the labial-buccal side; the palatal cortex is thicker.

You have accomplished an enormous amount thus far, but the transformation to come is beyond expectation. Third year is challenging, but fun; you‘ll look back a year from now with amazement at the material you‘ve learned, the skills you‘ve acquired, and the new language that gradually becomes second nature. To ease this process, we would like to share with you the material in this guide, starting with lessons from our own experience. Course material is the bedrock of third year. Without knowing and fully understanding prevention, disease control, and the basics of dentistry, even the most technically skilled dental student can not provide patients with successful treatment.

The infections of the odontogenic and upper airway origin may spread to facial planes and led to space infection. The morbidities and fatalities from these infections have reduced to a large extent with the advent of modern antibiotics. However early diagnosis plays an important role in preventing the lethal complications. The aim of this review article is to discuss the etiology, manifestations and management of space infections. KEYWORDS: space infection, odontogenic infections, fascial planes INTRODUCTION: Head and neck space infections are simply defined as infections that spread along the fascial planesand spaces of the head and neck. They can be divided into superficial and deep neck space infections.(1) may extend to potential spaces formed by fascial planes of the lower head and upper cervical area. Spread of infection can be directly through lymphatic or hematogenous route and depends on the patient’s local and systemic factors and on the virulence of the pathogen[2]. Complicationsinclude airway obstruction, mediastinitis, necrotizing fasciitis, cavernous sinus thrombosis,sepsis, thoracic empyema, Lemierre’s syndrome, cerebral abscess, orbital abscessandosteomyelitis Superficial neck space infections are usually easy to treat. In contrast, deep neck space infections (DNSI) are difficult to diagnose early.

ADA Standard No. 2000.2 - 2018 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD/AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION STANDARD NO. 2000.2 FOR SNODENT (SYSTEMIZED NOMENCLATURE OF DENTISTRY) FOREWORD (This Foreword does not form a part of ANSI/ADA Standard No. 2000.2 for SNODENT (Systemized Nomenclature of Dentistry). The ADA SNODENT Canvass Committee has approved ANSI/ADA Standard No. 2000.2 for SNODENT (Systemized Nomenclature of Dentistry). The Committee has representation from all interests in the United States in the development of a standardized clinical terminology for dentistry. The Committee has adopted the standard, showing professional recognition of its usefulness in dentistry, and has forwarded it to the American National Standards Institute with a recommendation that it be approved as an American National Standard. The American National Standards Institute granted approval of ADA Standard No. 2000.2 as an American National Standard on December 3, 2018. A standard electronic health record (EHR) and interoperable national health information infrastructure require the use of uniform health information standards, including a common clinical language. Data must be collected and maintained in a standardized format, using uniform definitions, in order to link data within an EHR system or share health information among systems. The lack of standards has been a key barrier to electronic connectivity in healthcare. Together, standard clinical terminologies and classifications represent a common medical language, allowing clinical data to be effectively utilized and shared among EHR systems.
