  • Refractory Odontogenic Infection Associated to Candida Albicans: a Case Report
    Case Report Clinics in Surgery Published: 31 Mar, 2017 Refractory Odontogenic Infection Associated to Candida Albicans: A Case Report Daya A Mikhail*, Mederos Heidi BS and McClure Shawn Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Nova Southeastern University /Broward Health Medical Center, USA Abstract Background: Multifascial space infections from an odontogenic origin have been attributed to a different number of microorganisms. These infections can be serious, involving multiple deep spaces in the head and neck, and potentially compromising the airway. Fungal etiology including C. albicans has been reported in the past as a rare agent involving multifascial space infections. Case Description: We present an unusual case of a severe deep space infection associated with carious teeth numbers 31 and 32. This specific infection proved to be resistant to multiple antibiotic therapy and required incision and drainage on two different occasions. After the initial surgery, the patient remained febrile with an elevated white blood cell count; thus, the patient was taken to the operating room again for a re-drainage and new cultures. Cultures obtained during the second surgery were positive for C. albicans. The patient was responsive to antifungal therapy, showing quick improvement in his condition. Conclusion: Although multiple factors could have contributed to this patient’s vulnerability to odontogenic infection of fungal etiology including history of alcoholism and broad spectrum antibiotic therapy, it remains an infrequent finding in the literature. This case illustrates the need to consider a fungal cause in patients with odontogenic infections who are not responsive to broad spectrum antibiotics and surgical drainage.

  • Complications Following Surgery of Impacted Teeth and Their Management
    Chapter 1 Complications Following Surgery of Impacted Teeth and Their Management Çetin Kasapoğlu, Amila Brkić, Banu Gürkan-Köseoğlu and Hülya Koçak-Berberoğlu Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/53400 1. Introduction One of the most performed procedures in the specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery is removal of impacted teeth, especially third molars. Impaction is defined as failure of teeth to erupt into the dental arch within the expected time [1,2]. The reasons for tooth impaction include several factors subdivided into a local and general factors such as position and size of adjacent teeth, dense overlying bone, excessive soft tissue or a genetic abnormality including abnormal eruption path, dental arch length and space in which to erupt [1-3]. Clinically and radiographically, there are two types of impactions namely complete and partial. Complete impaction means that the tooth is covered by bone and mucosa and is prevented from erupting into a normal functional position; partial impaction means that the tooth is partially visible or in communication with oral cavity, but it has failed to erupt fully into a normal position [1]. The most common impacted teeeth are mandibular and maxillary third molars, followed by the maxillary canines and mandibular premolars. New data suggests that 72,2% of the world population has at least one impacted tooth (usually lower third molar) [3,4]. From the last 40 years, the incidence of impacted teeth has grown through different populations, due to living habits such as soft food diet and lower intensity of the use of the masticatory apparatus [3].

If cancers originating from the buccal mucosa invade adjacent anatomical structures, surgical tumor resection becomes more challenging, thus raising specific considerations for reconstruction relative to the extent of resection. The present case describes the surgical management of a 58-year-old man who pre- sented with persistent ulceration of the mucosal membrane and a mouth-opening limitation of 11 mm. Diagnostic imaging revealed a buccal mucosa tumor that had invaded the retroantral space upward with involvement of the anterior border of the masseter muscle by the lateral part of the tumor. In this report, we present the surgical approach we used to access the masticator space behind the maxillary sinus and discuss how to manage possible damage to Stensen’s duct during resection of buccal mucosa tumors.

ABSTRACT Abscess in the temporal and infratemporal space are very rare. They develop as a result of the extraction of infected maxillary molars. Temporal space infections or abscess can be seen in the superficial or deep temporal regions. A 27- year-old lady who had undergone extraction of 2nd mandibular molar five days ago came with complaints of painful swelling over left cheek and restricted mouth opening. On examination, an ill-defined diffuse parotid swelling was seen and treated with empirical antibiotics for which patient didn't respond. On examination, a diffuse hourglass swelling was seen extending from left parotid region to temporal region. CT scan revealed a bulky parotid gland with abscess involving parotid, masticator, infratemporal and temporal scalp region with reactive cervical lymphadenopathy on the left side.

ABSTRACT Third molar surgery is the most common minor oral surgical procedure performed in dental clinics. Displacement of maxillary third molar tooth into adjacent spaces such as infratemporal fossa, maxillary sinus has been reported earlier. We present an unusual case of iatrogenic displacement of maxillary third molar into pterygomandibular space. A 24 year old dental undergraduate reported to Department of Oral surgery with complaints of trismus and swelling in the check region after unsuccessful attempt at extraction of maxillary right third molar tooth. Computed tomography scan localized the tooth in the pterygomandibular space. A surgical removal of the displaced tooth was performed under general anesthesia. Displaced tooth was approached by an intraoral vertical incision along the anterior border of ramus of mandible.

    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 5, 2020 Space Infections And Spread Of Oral Infections-A Dr.R.Jayasri Krupaa, Dr.R.Hariharan, Dr. N.Aravindha Babu, Dr. K.M.K.Masthan Department of Oral pathology and Microbiology Sree Balaji Dental College and Hospital Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research ABSTRACT: Severe infections of the head and neck region may lead to life threatening complications. 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.
