The radicular lingual groove: an overlooked differential diagnosis.
A periodontal abscess with symptoms simulating an endodontic problem is discussed. The diffculty of diagnosis, compounded by the apparent failure of endodontic treatment on an adjacent tooth, is described. This case history illustrates the importance of awareness of developmental defects in teeth and the potential problems that they pose.
Barodontalgia at 12,000 feet.
Persons susceptible to barodontalgia include those with peridontal abscesses, carious teeth, maxillary sinus congestion, or those who have had recent extractions or restorations. A 38-year-old man had acute pain while he was in a depressurized chamber. Treatment of a periodontal abscess alleviated the problem.
[Treatment of odontogenic abscesses].
Histories of 311 abscesses of odontogenic origin found in different tissue spaces were evaluated. Location, cause, age distribution, pathogenic germs, and therapeutical measures were discussed. The perimandibular abscess was found most frequently, the second most common was the submadibular abscess. The parapharyngeal and paratonsillary abscesses were the rarest. The age of the patients was mainly between 30 and 50 years. Most often the lower molars were the starting point of the abscess. The spectrum of pathogenic germs comprised 14 different germs. Surgical therapy which is always necessary is performed under analgo-sedation in adults, and in ketamine anesthesia in children. The tooth responsible for the abscess was removed seven days after the abscess incision, on the average. If indicated, post-operative therapy should be applied after the testing of germ resistance.
[Incisions in oral surgery].
Oral mucosa incision can allow several interventions: cellulitis or periodontal abscess opening, gingival tissue excision or repositioning or at least exposure of alveolar bone for tooth extraction or infrabony pockets' treatment. The different incisions are described with special considerations: --on the anatomic environment of the oral cavity (palatal arteries, mandibular nerve...)--on the healing patterns of the different periodontal tissues (rapid cellular turnover of the epithelial attachment for instance)--at last on the suturing for each intervention. The instrumentation needed for the different incisions is described and clinical cases are presented before, during and after oral surgery. The use of an electrical knife is noted with the contraindications of this operative procedure.
[Odontogenic soft tissue abscesses in the maxillofacial region. An analysis of 1386 cases from 1957--1976 at the Northwest-German Dental Clinic in Hamburg].
Between 1957 and 1976, 1386 patients with odontogenous abscesses in the area of the mouth, jaw, and face were treated on an in-patient basis at the Hospital for Jaw Surgery (Nordwestdeutschen) in Hamburg. The catamneses of these patients were evaluated noting the localization and frequency of each abscess, the age and sex distribution of the patients, and the possible teeth responsible for the abscess. Any pathogens demonstrated were carefully recorded. The degree of sensitivity and/or resistance of the various groups of pathogens were also included in the study, particularly streptococcus and staphylococcus. Uncritical and undifferentiated administration of antibiotic therapy for pyogenic inflammations in the area of the mouth, jaw, and face is not to be recommended.
[Microbial and resistance spectrum of jaw infections].
According to this investigation, antibiotic treatment of odontogenous abcesses should be directed primarily against streptococcus and staphylococcus, even if gram-negative pathogens have apparently increased. The response on the part of streptococcus to antibiotics has not changed essentially during the last five years. Staphylococcus however has developed a resistance to penicillin and ampicillin.
[Spectrum of pathogens in odontogenous abscesses in the patients of the Tübingen Department of Maxillofacial Surgery].
Bacteriological examination and evaluation of 475 smears of pus taken from odontogenous abcesses showed that the spectrum of pathogens is extremely broad. Chemotherapy therefore should not be started before the pathogen has been identified and an antibiogram has been made due to possible resistance on the part of the microorganisms. Clindamycin may be used for "blind treatment" until the bacteriologic findings are available because it is effective against streptococcus and staphylococcus as well as gram-negative asporous anaerobes. The risk of the possible ineffectiveness of clindamycin against gramnegative anaerobes however must be taken. Clindamycin and gentamicin together may be helpful in life-threatening situations because the combination covers an extremely broad spectrum of possible pathogens.

[Odontogenic soft tissue infections (localization, treatment and course in 1002 cases)].
Between 1965 and 1974, 1002 patients were treated on an in-patient basis for odontogenous soft-tissue infections. Abcesses were observed in 960 patients; inflammatory infiltrate, in 39 patients; a phlegmon, in 3 patients. The relation of male to female patients was 56:44. The 21- to 30-year-old age group was most frequently affected. Antibiotic therapy was administered over a period of weeks prior to admission in 87% of the patients. Operative procedures prior to admission had been performed on only a few patients.
