“…The most commonly encountered orofacial infections were odontogenic in origin (62%), may be because most odontogenic infections arise from dental caries and periodontal disease which are associated with poor oral hygiene. This is in agreement with Chow et al, 12 who mentioned that dental caries, gingivitis and periodontitis are prevalent in the general population, and Read-Fuller et al, 13 who showed that 79% infections had an odontogenic origin, as well as Veronez et al, 14 who reported that 113/157 cases had an odontogenic cause, while only 44 patients presented a non-odontogenic infection. The cause may be due to a delay in treatment due to the relatively high cost of dental care and public indifference to dental health.…”

Orofacial infections are considered as one of most common infections and need rapid and adequate treatment as they affect a very delicate region and are associated with serious life-threatening complications. Orofacial infections can be either odontogenic that is with an origin in teeth and associated structures or non-odontogenic, not associated with teeth, can affect facial spaces and spread from one space to another, so a good knowledge about diagnosis and treating these infections is of utmost importance, and can include both non-surgical and surgical treatment. The aim of our study was to determine the most common cause of orofacial infections, the most common bacterial microorganisms and their antibiotic susceptibility. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study was undertaken in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Al-Shaheed Ghazi Al-Hariry Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq from 1 st January to 30 th September 2015. This study included 45 patients with different forms of orofacial infections; data regarding age, gender, underlying cause, facial space involvement, presenting signs were collected through history, clinical examination and radiographs, incision and drainage with swab sample for culture and sensitivity test was performed. Results: Patients with orofacial infections showed a female to male ratio of 1.25:1. The mean age was 32.8 years. Most of the patients were in their 4 th decade of life (27%). Most infections were odontogenic in origin (62%), the most common facial space involved was submandibular (65%), the most common isolated microorganism was Streptococcus pyogenes (59%), and most patients were treated using an extra-oral surgical approach (78%). Antibiotics to which bacterial isolated showed the most sensitivity were netilmicin, cefoperazone and rifampicin (91%). Pain and limitation of mouth opening gradually decreased in most of patients during the two weeks follow up period. Conclusion: Orofacial infections were more common in females, in the third and fourth decade of life, were odontogenic in origin, were mostly caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, and most isolates were susceptible to netilmicin, cefoperazone and rifampicin. Pain and trismus decreased over two weeks post-treatment.

“…But Metronidazole is only effective against obligate anaerobes, because its molecule must enter the bacterial cell before it is reduced to form the active antibacterial agent and this reduction takes place effectively only under anaerobic conditions [20]. All patients had pain and swelling on presentation, which corroborates with A. Read-Fuller et al [21], who reported that Rapidly-worsening swelling, dysphagia, pain, and trismus are the most common presenting symptoms.…”

Oral cavity is important functional structure of the body, like other parts of the body it contains micro bacteria as a commensally structures. Several species of bacteria present in the mouth that exploit the circumstances of human immunity and oral hygiene to cause infections which can spread to the facial region and neck to the rest of the body and lead to serious outcome. Background: Determine most common bacterial microorganisms and antibiotic sensitivity of maxillomandibular infections. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study was carried out on 45 patients with different forms of maxillomandibular infections, data regarding age, gender, presenting signs were collected through history, clinical examination and radiographs, incision and drainage with swab sample for culture and sensitivity test was done. Results: Patients with maxillomandibular infections showed a male to female ratio of 1:1.25 The mean age was 33 years. Most of the patients were in the 4th decade 27% of life, most common isolated microorganism was Streptococcus pyogene 59%, antibiotics with greatest sensitivity were Netilmicin, Cefoperazone and Rifampicin 91%.
