16
Q

How does buccinator attach?

A

Lateral cortex of mandible adjacent to molar teeth

17
Q

How does mylohyoid attach?

A

Mylohyoid ridge - medial lingual cortex

18
Q

If have mandibular abscess which tracks laterally above buccinator where will it present?

A

Intra-oral

19
Q

If have mandibular abscess which track laterally below buccanator where will it present?

A

Facial skin

20
Q

If abscess track medial above mylohyoid where will it present?

A

Sublingual space

21
Q

If abscess track medial below mylohyoid where will it present?

A

Submandibular space

22
Q

Where can infection 2nd/3rd mandibular molars track?

A

Posterior into masticatory sapce/ phayngeal space = see profound trismus/ compromised airway

23
Q

Where do most maxillary infection track?

A

Buccal - bone thin = least resistance

24
Q

If have palatal infection where tracked from?

A

Lateral incisors

Palatal root first molar

25
Q

What can happen if apex maxillary canine above origin levator anguli?

A

Infection present medial canthus of eye

26
Q

When see deep neck space infection?

A

Rare but most dental in origin

From mandibular 2nd/3rd molars - apex often below mylohyoid

27
Q

Presenting feature deep neck space infection?

A 
Fever
Pain
Sore throat 
Diff/ pain swallowing
Trismus
28
Q

Management deep neck space infection?

A

General and local measures
Airway management
IV ab
Surgical drainage

29
Q

What is a complication that can happen from spread infection from upper anterior tooth?

A

Drainage into cavernous sinus = cavernous sinus thrombosis

30
Q

Presenting symptoms of cavernous sinus thrombosis?

A

Loss eye mvement
Ptosis = drooping upper lid
Proptosis = bulging eye
Chemosis = red eye

31
Q

When should ab be given?

A

Systemic infection: fever, malaise, nausea
Sign spreading infection
Chronic infection despite local measure
Immuno-or medically compromised

32
Q

What conditions should ab be given with even if limited systemic involvement?

A

Osteomyelitis
ANUG
Sialdentitis

33
Q

How prescribe antimicrobials?

A

Aim at organism present
Dose be 4-8x MIC in blood
Present long enough to penetrate site

34
Q

Issue w/ broad spec ab?

A

Associate rise clostridium difficile

35
Q

Example broad spec ab?

A

Amoxicillin

Tetracycline

36
Q

When take care w/ broad spec ab?

A

Pt GI disease
Elderly
Consider prescribe PPI

37
Q

When NOT prescribe ab fro dental disease?

A

Pulpitis

Prevention dry socket

38
Q

Why may ab not work?

A

Agent doesn’t reach site
Impaired defence
Inappropriate agent - resistance
Poor pt compliance

39
Q

Why may ab not reach site infection?

A

Inadequate drainage
Poor blood supply
Presence foreign body
Inadequate duration
