Odontogenic Maxillofacial Infections: A Ten-Year Retrospective Analysis

Abstract: The frequency of odontogenic maxillofacial infection remained almost unchanged during a 10-y period. Single-space infections were more common (57.1%) than infections involving two or more spaces. Susceptibility to penicillin remains relatively high; therefore, penicillin can remain part of the armamentarium for treatment of odontogenic maxillofacial infections.

“…This study is part of the rare prospective studies about severe odontogenic infection [3,11,12], with over 653 patients included, it was one of the largest. Our population with a mean age of 37 years-old, a male dominance, a poor health status, a maximum of mandibular molar infected with submandibular and perimandibular space involvement is similar to the literature [1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Penicillin allergic reported is 7% in our study, 4.1% in Zirk et al study and 8% in Flynn et al study [3,17].…”

“…If CRP level is between 50 and 200 mg/l and the patient not allergic to penicillin, two criteria must be add to obtain a risk factor of 33%: mandibular molar infection and psychiatric disorders. Mandibular molar is the most frequent tooth involved in severe odontogenic infection [3,5,7,11,13,14] and is responsible of infection spreading preferentially in the submandibular space [13,15,17,25,26]. Moreover, in our study it is also strongly correlate with unfavourable evolution.…”

“…Moreover, in some cases, this lingual positioning of teeth results in apical fenestrations, which represent interruptions of the mandibular lingual cortical plate contour [ 5 , 6 ]. The close proximity of the root apices of posterior teeth to the cortical bone may lead the infection to penetrate into the adjacent facial spaces [ 7 ]. Involvement of submandibular and sublingual spaces causes severe symptoms such as neck rigidity, trismus, dysphagia, respiratory distress, sialorrhea, and pyrexia.…”
