“…Kannangara et al reported a male prevalence in their study with 66% versus 34% women [10]. The retrospective study of Dodson et al carried out on 113 children consulting for an infectious odontological urgency also noted this prevalence for the male sex (59% against 41%) ([11].…”

-Infectious emergencies occupy a very significant part of odontology consultation. So, a retrospective study undertaken in 2003 in a french hospital (Dijon) was down to analyze the distribution of infectious pathologies in odontological emergencies. 352 patients were admitted during 2003 for an infectious dental etiology. The age of patients lies from 4 to 96. The pathology most frequently met is firstly the endodontical abscess and secondly cellulitis. The causal teeth from all confused arcades are first molars. And more surprising is the prevalence of the infectious emergencies on the left side. Regarding the distribution according to the period of the year, a slight prevalence is noticed in summer. This analyse permits to evaluate the various parameters which can influence infectious etiology urgencies.

Les urgences infectieuses occupent une place non négligeable dans les urgences odontologiques. Une étude rétrospective a été menée en 2003 dans un hôpital français (Dijon) afin d'analyser les urgences infectieuses en Odontologie. 352 patients ont été admis en 2003 pour une infection d'origine bucco-dentaire. L'âge des patients allait de 4 ans à 96 ans. La pathologie la plus fréquemment rencontrée est l'abcès endodontique compliqué par une cellulite faciale. Les dents causales à l'origine de ces urgences infectieuses sont le plus souvent les premières molaires. Ces urgences infectieuses prédominaient légèrement du côté gauche et pendant l'été.The odontological emergencies are increasingly frequent with the regional service of reception of emergencies. The dental abscess is a practical and odontological reason for a nearly daily consultation. It presents a very exceptionally vital risk. However, expressing itself in various clinical, unquestionable and specific cases requires an immediate assumption of responsibility by their particularly fugacious gravity, and sometimes involving the vital forecast [1]. The infectious emergencies are very often a complication of pulpar pathology; they occupy a very significant part of the consultation in odontology and touch the various social classes. These dental and periodontal infectious complications which are local (abscess, teeth), regional (let us phlegmons, cellulitis and osteitis) or remote (endocarditis, brain abscess, acute rheumatoid arthritis. . .), sometimes threaten the vital forecast [2].

“…Three studies reported comparable findings when clindamycin was compared with penicillin for the management of orofacial infections. 25,27,73 All three concluded that clindamycin would be a suitable alternative to penicillin. In a recent study into the bacteriological features and antimicrobial susceptibilities of bacteria isolated from orofacial odontogenic infections penicillin was found to be effective against most major pathogens involved.…”
