    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.5592 Management of Acute Periodontal Abscess Mimicking Acute Apical Abscess in the Anterior Lingual Region: A Case Report Omar A. Alharbi 1 , Muhammad Zubair Ahmad 1 , Atif S. Agwan 1 , Durre Sadaf 1 1. Conservative Dentistry, Qassim University, College of Dentistry, Buraydha, SAU Corresponding author: Muhammad Zubair Ahmad, [email protected] Abstract Purulent infections of periodontal tissues are known as periodontal abscesses localized to the region of the involved tooth. Due to the high prevalence rate and aggressive symptoms, it is considered a dental emergency; urgent care is mandatory to maintain the overall health and well being of the patient. This case report describes the management of a patient who presented with an acute periodontal abscess secondary to poor oral hygiene. Clinically and radiographically, the lesion was mimicking an acute apical abscess secondary to pulpal necrosis. Periodontal treatment was started after completion of antibiotic therapy. The clinical presentation of the condition and results of the recovery, along with a brief review of relevant literature are discussed. Categories: Pain Management, Miscellaneous, Dentistry Keywords: periodontal abscess, antimicrobial agents, dental pulp test, dental pulp necrosis, apical suppurative periodontitis Introduction Periodontium, as a general term, describes the tissues surrounding and supporting the tooth structure. A localized purulent infection of the periodontal tissues adjacent to a periodontal pocket, also known as a periodontal abscess, is a frequently encountered periodontal condition that may be characterized by the rapid destruction of periodontal tissues [1-2]. The symptoms generally involve severe pain, swelling of the alveolar mucosa or gingiva, a reddish blue or red appearance of the affected tissues, and difficulty in chewing [1-3].

Examination of the gingiva is part of every patient visit. In this context, a thorough clinical and radiographic assessment of the patient’s gingival tissues provides the dental practitioner with invaluable diagnostic information that is critical to determining the health status of the gingiva. The dental hygienist is often the first member of the dental team to be able to detect the early signs of periodontal disease. In 2017, the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) developed a new worldwide classification scheme for periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions. Included in the new classification scheme is the category called “periodontal health, gingival diseases/conditions.” Therefore, this chapter will first review the parameters that define periodontal health. Appreciating what constitutes as periodontal health serves as the basis for the dental provider to have a stronger understanding of the different categories of gingival diseases and conditions that are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Learning Objectives • Define periodontal health and be able to describe the clinical features that are consistent with signs of periodontal health. • List the two major subdivisions of gingival disease as established by the American Academy of Periodontology and the European Federation of Periodontology.

  • Periodontal Disease)
    Patient Fact Sheet Gum Disease (Periodontal Disease) It can often go unnoticed – until it’s too late. While you may not think periodontal (gum) disease affects you, 75 percent of adults over the age of 35 show signs and symptoms. In fact, periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Why? Because it occurs at an age when cavities are usually a thing of the past and the initial symptoms often go unnoticed. Recent studies have also shown a possible link between periodontal disease and heart disease. One theory in support of this is that the bacteria that cause periodontal disease enter the bloodstream and promote blood clots and narrowing of the arteries that cause heart attacks. It has also been shown that if a woman develops severe periodontal disease during pregnancy, she is more likely to give birth to a low birth weight infant. Research also shows periodontal disease is linked to many other health problems, as well. What is gum (periodontal) If I have no symptoms, how do I How can I prevent periodontal disease?

  • BPE) Careful Assessment of the Periodontal Tissues Is an Essential Component of Patient Management
    Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE) Careful assessment of the periodontal tissues is an essential component of patient management. The BPE is a simple and rapid screening tool that is used to indicate the level of further examination needed and provide basic guidance on treatment needed. These BPE guidelines are not prescriptive but represent a minimum standard of care for initial periodontal assessment. BPE should be used for screening only and should not be used for diagnosis. The clinician should use their skill, knowledge and judgment when interpreting BPE scores, taking into account factors that may be unique to each patient. Deviation from these guidelines may be appropriate in individual cases, for example where there is a lack of patient engagement. General guidance on the implications of BPE scores is indicated in the table below. The BPE scores should be considered together with other factors when making decisions about referral (as outlined in the companion BSP document “Referral Policy and Parameters of Care”). Guidelines for the use of BPE in younger patients can be found in the BSP document “Guidelines for periodontal screening and management of children and adolescents under 18 years of age.” The UK Implementation guidance of the 2017 Classification for periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions maps to the BPE guidelines and is documented in Periodontal diagnosis in the context of the 2017 classification system of periodontal diseases and conditions – Implementation in Clinical Practice, T.
