Final Studyguide Flashcards
(54 cards)
As odontogenic infection progresses from early to late stage, anaerobic bacteria make up the late stage infection almost entirely.
Streptococcus is the main bacteria that makes up aerobic bacteria.
True; True
A patient that is a heavy drink/alcoholism has decreased immune function.
A patient with impaired renal ability has decreased immune function
True; True
Incision and drainage is a contraindication for treatment of cellulitis.
There is a chance of spread of infection from surgical intervention.
False; I&D specifically = false but if surgery in general = true
Signs of inflatmmation- trismus comes from pterygomandibular.
True
18yoM comes to your office- swelling is firm to touch, large radiolucency on X-ray. What is the next step:
Aspirate
Which of the following does NOT describe cellulitis:
Localized collection of pus
What is the main thing you want to do in treatment of any odontogenic infection?
Identify and and excise cause of infection
Bacteriostatic antiobiotic is better than bacteriocidal.
False- bacteriocidal KILLS
A patient comes in with a 5mm ulcerated white lesion on the dorsal side of her tongue. The patient is a heavy drinker and smoker. The biopsy comes back and says the lesion is “chronic inflammation.” what is the next step:
Take another sample of the lesion to make sure there is not tumor cells
List the PRIMARY MAXILLARY spaces:
Canine
Buccal
Infratemporal
Max says: Carry Buys Igloos
List the PRIMARY MANDIBULAR spaces:
Buccal
Sublingual
Submandibular
Submental
Manny like subs and booty
List the secondary fascial spaces:
Lateral pharyngeal
Retropharyngeal
Masseteric
Pterygomandibular
Superfical & Deep temporal
Prevertebral
Any infection near the maxillary first molar will most likely spread to:
Buccal space
Which of the following does NOT use an extraoral approach to drainage:
Infraorbital - this uses intraoral approach
The ___ separates the sublingual and submandibular spaces
Mylohyoid muscle
When a patient comes in with swelling and you are unable to palpate the borer of the mandible, what space is most likely involved?
Submandibular
(there is likely fluid under the mandible making you unable to reach it)
A patient comes in with swelling and you are able to palpate the floor of the mouth next to the swelling. Where is the most likely space?
Sublingual
In normal health, subfascial spaces do not exist.
Most infections do not want to spread to bone like osteomyelitis.
True; True
What is the standard radiograph for osteomyelitis?
CT
What radiograph do you get to visualize the extent of odontogenic infections better?
CT
When you send a sample (biopsy) to the lab, what do you order/expect to get back?
- microbial analysis
- histological assessment
- C&S
Ludwigs angina spaces:
- Sublingual
- Submandibular
- Submental
NOT SUBMASSENTERIC
Patient comes in with cavernous sinus thrombosis secondary from infection. What else do you expect to see?
- Marked edema
- Congestion of eyelids and conjunctiva
Chronic osteomyelitis is ______ (how painful) and continues to progress
-minimal pan early on
-extensive pain later on
