Periapical and Dentoaveolar Abscesses

Abscess consist of approximately 2% of all dental problems at the tips of the roots of the teeth. This oral infection is divided into two forms. The primary (Neoteric) form involves inflammation of the pulp and has little or no significant change can be seen on dental radiographs. He also named Houston dentists as acute apical periodontitis or acute apical abscess. The secondary (recrudescent) comes from a previously existing model, asymptomatic lesions such as granuloma, cyst, scar, and cholestéatome.Les causes and course of the disease: primary abscess always appears suddenly. It is associated with the tip of the root of the tooth pulp and the dead. The root canal contains a large number of live bacteria which rapidly spread to surrounding tissues. The rapid spread of the infection causes the ligament to become inflamed (severe periodontitis) and resulting in an extremely painful toothache. Sometimes, the inflammation is so sudden and so severe that the tooth grows a little making the tooth abscesses and brings even more high mastication.L pain can be acute or chronic, according to several factors, such as the number and aggressiveness of the offending bacteria, the immune system of the patient and the type and duration of care. Often, different strains of staphylococci and streptococci are the causative organism, but a wide variety of microorganisms such as anarobes Baccteroides, Peptococcus, Peprtostreptococcus, Actinomyces, Eubacterium, and Fusohacterium, sometimes it is. These anaerobic bacteria are frequently resistant pénicilline.Les clinical signs: The clinical examination of the tooth with an abscess is painful to percussion, and if it becomes obstructed, the patient complains that he feels "high" when you touch the opposing tooth. In general, does not respond to electric pulp testing. The application of ice, however, relieves the pain a bit, unlike heat, which intensifies the pain. Tooth mobility may show accrue.Si goes untreated, the abscesses may penetrate the lower jaw and the nearest point of the root tip and forming an infection in the tissue space soft boundary. The area of the abscess is painful, and the surface of the skin over the abscess is warm and supple to palpation and shows how they feel fluild. Body temperature may rise. Aspiration usually produces yellowish pus. regional lymph nodes may swell and douloureux.Si conditions are unfavorable, such as reduced host resistance associated with virulent organisms multiply and inadequate early treatment, serious complications can occur. Complications such as osteomyelitis, septicemia, septic emboli, the stifling of Ludwig's angina or other space infection may compromise the airway and can be fatale.Une chronic infection that occurs when the virulence and the number of organizations are weak and host resistance is high if left untreated, the abscess is often a chronic fistula, which can drain the pus to the surface. The slow growth of inflammatory tissue formation on the surface and is called parulis. When drainage is established, the tooth and swelling associated with more painful because of pressure from the differential diagnosis of abscess amoindrie.Le: When a fluctuating painful swelling is present, the diagnosis of an abscess is suspected. What is the abscess is primary or secondary type, however, more difficult to decide. It is because of periapical origin may not be easy to identify. Sometimes, this identification is often impossible due to the composition of the tissue has been destroyed by infection. If the abscess is a progression of pulpitis, cyst, granuloma, scarring, or cholesteatoma is no practical interest. However, the abscess is essential when a tumor is primary or secondary tumors maligne.Il superinfection is also necessary to consider that all abscesses involving teeth are of pulpal origin. The periodontal (gum) abscess, originating in a deep periodontal pocket, is a common injury and periapical abscess is distinguished by a radiologic examination. If the radiograph shows the absence of periapical involvement, usually a periodontal abscess. In addition, the pulp of teeth with periodontal abscess treatment is almost always recommeded indispensable.Le: The abscess must be treated aggressively with pain patients and to ensure that adverse effects do not occur. It is preferable to drain away, if possible, because it accelerates the resolution of the abscess. Drainage can be established by the opening of the chamber and the transmission of a file through the channel in the apical region. When drainage can not establish in this way, a trephination procedure is suggested. This procedure involves making a window through the mucosa and bone abscess in the root tip. When the abscess spreads into the spaces around the chin, cheeks, tongue and roof of the mouth, and through leakage through may have to be placed and often more treatment penicillin irriguées.En Severe cases should be immediately started, no less than 500 mg four times daily for at least five days. If the patient is allergic to penicillin, our Houston dentist may prescribe erythromycin or clindamycine.Il it is prudent to remove a serious dental abscess (especially if many surgical manipulation is necessary.) Unless the patient has been adequately treated with antibiotics to ensure an effective level of the blood, the patient is at risk of bacterial shower in the traffic generated by surgical manipulation of an abscess area. However, it is advantageous to keep the affected tooth after the acute phase of infection was controlled. routine canal treatment can be done with or without removal to save the tooth root.
