Infections of the oral and maxillofacial region are one of the most common conditions for which a patient presents to a maxillofacial surgeons. Although these infections can arise from a variety of source, dental disease is the most common etiology. So, odontogenic infection are frequently encountered in the practice of oral and maxillofacial surgery. These infections often respond to antimicrobial chemotherapy or surgical intervention, such as extraction of teeth, incision and drainage through clinical features. But, odontogenic infections have the potential to spread via the fascial spaces in the head and neck region, and, they spread to cavernous sinus, deep musculofascial space and other vital structure. We have undertaken clinical studies on infections in the oral and maxillofacial regions by analyzing retrospectively hospitalized patients in the Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Chonbuk National University Hospital past 5 years from 2000 to 2004. And, the patients' age, sex, medical history, causes of the infection, surgical intervention, and other clinical parameters were reviewed. The obtained results were as follows : 1. The most frequent cause of oral and maxillofacial infection was odontogenic. And in the odontogenic cause, dental caries was the most common cause (47.2%). 2. The most common fascial space involved was the submandibular space (15.7%), followed by the buccal space (14.8%). 3. 60.4% of all patients required surgical drainage of the abscess, endodontic treatment or tooth extraction or periodontal treatment with drainage. 4. The most causative organism isolated from the pus culture were streptococcus viridans (53.9%). 5. Underlying medical problems were found in 136 patients (41.9%), the most common being hypertension (27.9%) and diabetes (14.7%).
The plunging ranula or cervical ranula is amucous extravasation cyst of the sublingual gland. It is slightly common in females, shows no side preference, and is more prevalent in the second and third decades of life. It typically manifests as a painless, nonmobile swelling in the neck. The pathogenesis of plunging ranula is the discontinuities of the mylohyoid muscle in a position that would allow extravasation of sublingual gland mucin. The histologic appearance is characteristically of a cyst, devoid of epithelium or endothelium, with a vascular fibro-connective tissue wall containing some chronic inflammatory cells and macrophages stuffed with mucin. The correct diagnosis is essential for the most effective treatment, which is exicision of the sublingual gland. The plunging ranula must be differentiated clinically and histomorphologically from thyroglossal duct cyst, dermoid cyst, branchogenic cyst, lymphangioma, laryngocele, lipoma, hemangioma, cervial thymic cyst, cysts of the parathyroid or thyroid gland, lymphadenopathy, abscess, or tumor. We report a case and review the literatures, in our case, 23-year old man were diagnosis as plunging ranula after have been taken sialogam, MRI, etc. He underwent surgery via a cervical approach. The ranula reached the anterior neck by passing through a dehiscence in the mylohyoid muscle. A pseudocyst was extirpated. Although total sublingual gland excision was not performed, no recurrence was observed during 6 months follow-up periods.

Orbital infection or inflammation is a rare but serious complication of an odontogenic infection. Odontogenic infection can spread to the orbit by one or more of several paths. Such extension is potentially dangerous and can lead to loss of vision or worse. 5-cases of orbital infection and inflammation secondary to infection from upper or lower molar teeth, which extended to the subperiosteal or the retrobulbar region of the orbit, are presented in this report. The infections spreaded to the infratemporal and temporal fossa or the ethmoidal labyrinth, and then to the orbit via the inferior orbital fissure or the lamina papyracea. The clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, route of spread, value of serial CT scanning, treatment and possible complications are reviewed.

Objectives: This study investigated causative strains and their antibiotic sensitivity in patients who were hospitalized for maxillofacial odontogenic infections at a tertiary center in South Korea over the past 10 years with the aim of providing guidelines for the selection of appropriate empirical antibiotics. Materials and Methods: Patients with head and neck fascial space abscesses due to odontogenic infections who underwent incision and drainage surgery with pus culture tests between 2013 and 2022 at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dankook University Hospital were included. The bacterial isolates and antibiotic sensitivity of each strain were analyzed for 2013-2022, 2013-2017, and 2018-2022. The affected fascial spaces were classified into primary, secondary, and deep neck spaces. Results: In the 192 patients included in this study, 302 strains were detected. Viridans streptococcus had the highest frequency (51.7%), followed by Prevotella spp. (16.9%), Staphylococcus spp. (5.6%), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (4.6%). The identification rate of viridans streptococcus significantly increased from 41.8% in 2013-2017 to 60.9% in 2018-2022. Viridans streptococcus showed an antibiotic sensitivity of 80.5% to ampicillin; the sensitivity to penicillin antibiotics decreased over the study period. Antibiotic susceptibility was approximately 94% for third-generation cephalosporins. K. pneumoniae, which was identified at a high percentage in patients with deep neck space infection, showed increasing antibiotic resistance to most antibiotics over the study period. Conclusion: Viridans streptococcus was identified in head and neck fascial space abscesses with the highest frequency. Empirical antibiotics should be effective against this strain; penicillin antibiotics are considered inappropriate. For effective treatment of deep neck space abscesses, bacterial culture and antibiotic sensitivity tests performed as soon as possible are essential.
Purpose : This study was designed to evaluate the clinical aspect of cysts which arised in the oral and maxillofacial region. Patients and Methods : We reviewed clinical record, radiograph, histopathologic and operative report of 155 patients who had been diagnosed as cysts and treated at the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery in Chonnam National University Hospital from January 2003 to December 2008. Gender, age, classifiaction, anatomic distribution, clinical sign and symptoms, treatment, complications and recurrence rate were studied. Results : 1. Among 155 patients, the male patients(64.5%) were more than the female(35.5%). 2. The average age ofthe patients was 37.2 years(ranging from 5 to 79 years). 3. In pathologic classification, radicular cyst and dentigerous cyst were most common cysts, irrespective of 73 cases(48.3%) and 35 cases(23.2%). 4. The frequently involved cystic regions were followed as mandibular molars(38.1%), and maxillary incisors(30.2%). 5. The frequent sequence of clinical symptoms was edema(29.9%), no symptom(18.9%), tenderness(13.9%), pain(11.5%) and abscess(9.4%). 6. The most prevalent treatment was the combination operation, such as cyst enucleation with extraction or endodontic treatment of the causative tooth(76.8%) 7. Among 155 cases, 2 cases that were treated using enucleation method were recurred(1.3%).

The purpose of this study was to estimate the diagnostic availability of the common periapical lesions by using computer. The author used a domestic personal computer and rearranged the applied program appropriately with RF (Rapid File), a program to answer the purpose of this study, and then input the consequence made out through collection, analysis and classification of the clinical and radiological features about the common periapical lesions as a basic data. The 256 cases (Cyst 91, Periapical granuloma 74, Periapical abscess 91) were obtained from the chart recordings and radiographs of the patients diagnosed or treated under the common periapical lesions during the past 8 years (1983-1990) at the infirmary of Dental School, Chosun University. Next, the clinical and radiographic features of the 256 cases were applied to RF program for diagnosis, and the diagnosis by using computer was compared with the hidden final diagnosis by clinical and histopathological examination. The obtained results were as follows: 1. In cases of the cyst, diagnosis through the computer program was shown rather lower accuracy (80.22%) as compared with accuracy (90.1 %) by the radiologists. In cases of the granuloma, diagnosis through the computer program was shown rather higher accuracy (75.7%) as compared with the accuracy (70.3%) by the radiologists. 2. In cases of periapical abscess, the diagnostic accuracy was shown 88% in both diagnoses. 4. The average diagnostic accuracy of 256 cases through the computer program was shown rather lower accuracy (81.2%) as compared with the accuracy (82.8%) by the radiologists. 5. The applied basic data for radiographic diagnosis of common periapical lesions by using computer was estimated to be available.

The purpose of this study was to find the clinical features of periapical lesions. A total of 130 periapical lesions which were obtained from biopsy and diagnosed histopathologically as periapical cyst, periapical abscess, and periapical granuloma at the Department of Dentistry in Hanyang University Hospital were throughly analysed according to the distribution and incidence of age, sex, location, and so on. The following results were obtained : 1. Out of 130 periapical lesions, 88 cases(67.7%) were periapical cysts, 30 cases(23.1%) were periapical abscesses, and 12 cases(9.2%) were periapical granulomas. 2. The periapical lesions occurred most frequently in the third decade, and followed by the fourth, fifth, sixth, and second decade. The periapical cysts occurred most frequently in the third decade(26.1%), the periapical granulomas in the fourth decade(33.3%) the periapical abscesses in the sixth decade(26.7%). 3. The periapical lesions were more frequent in men than in women with the ratio of men to women of 1.4 : 1. The radio of men to women of periapical cysts was 1.6 : 1, that of periapical granulomas was 0.5 : 1, and that of periapical abscesses was 1.3 : 1. 4. The periapical lesions were more frequent in maxilla than in mandible with the ratio of 1.2 : 1. The ratio of maxilla to mandible of periapical cysts was 1.5 : 1, that of periapical granulomas was 0.5 : 1, that of periapical abscesses was 1 : 1. 5. The most commonly involved location of the periapical lesions was maxillary anterior teeth(40.8%), and followed by mandibular molars, mandibular premolars, and mandibular anterior teeth and maxillary molars. The most frequent location of the periapical cysts was maxillary anterior teeth(48.9%), that of periapical granulomas was mandibular molars(50.0%), that of periapical abscesses was mandibular molars(40.0%).

Ultrasonography is relatively inexpensive, non-invasive imaging tool and provides real-time imaging. In addition, the images can be obtained repeatedly. But it is not widely used by dentists because it is hard to interpret and technique sensitive. Above all, ultrasonography cannot be used for hard tissue diagnosis. However, ultrasonography can be applied for diagnosis of infection, soft tissue tumor and inflammatory muscle diseases which are commonly found in dental outpatients. Generally, it shows well-defined border, hypoechoic and homogenous structure in case of benign tumor. Malignant tumor appears relatively irregular margin and heterogenous structure. Cyst represents relatively echo-free features compared with benign tumor. Although the general characteristics of abscess are similar with benign tumor, we can observe an increased vascularity and different clinical features. The purpose of this report is to present 3 cases of US images using office-based ultrasonography with their features and discuss the role of office-based ultrasound in dentistry for diagnosis of soft tissue lesions with literature review.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the vitality of the teeth in and adjacent to the mandibular fracture line according to variable conditions of fracture and to establish the protocol of treatment of fracture line teeth. Materials and Methods : The vitality of 97 teeth in fracture line and 104 teeth adjacent to fracture line of 52 patients were invested preoperatively. Of these, 66 teeth in fracture line and 72 teeth adjacent to fracture line were monitored at least 6 months after operation. An electric pulp tester was used to measure pulpal response. The relationships between the vitality of teeth in variable time(preoperation, immediate post-operation; within 1 week after operation, and 6 months after operation) and variable conditions of fracture(horizontal, vertical gap of fracture line, the number of fracture line)were evaluated statistically. Result : The vitality of fracture line teeth in the 6 months after operation statistically differed by the vertical gap of fracture line and the number of fracture line. The vitality of fracture line adjacent teeth in the immediate post-operation only statistically differed by the vertical gap of fracture line. There were statistically differences between preoperative EPT value and vitality of fracture line teeth on 6 months after operation. There were 5 cases of complications including periapical and periodontal abscess. Of these, only one tooth was extracted and the others were well treated with endodontic treatment and subgingival curettage. Conclusion : It is recommended to retain teeth and to monitor the vitality of teeth in and adjacent to fracture line, unless there is an absolute indication for extraction.
Radiographic diagnosis of periapical lesions is based on many factors, including anatomical limitations such as thickness of the cortical bone; positioning of the apical abscess to the cortical bone; and is complicated by proximity to other anatomical structures and neighboring teeth. With conventional radiographs, these structures are often superimposed. Dental CBCT with its associated geometric accuracy offers accurate visualizations of the complex relationships and boundaries between teeth, related anatomical features, and their associated pathology. Its images also provide us internal tooth morphology, periodontal ligament space, the presence or absence of periapicl lesions in association wi th critical anatomical structures and maxillary sinus involement. Using 3 D imaging makes it easier for clinicians to detect, diagnosis, and develop highly effective treatment plans. Now, 4 cases of periapical and periodontal pathosis with CBCT images are to be presented including periapical abscess, furcation involvement, periapical pathosis involving maxillary sinus, and osteomyelitis. CBCT analyze specific area of interest and provides the highly detailed anatomical information. It also facilitates earlier and more accurate diagnosis, and treatment planning decisions and more predictable outcome.
