pericoronal การใช้
- Sometimes there is an associated pericoronal abscess ( an accumulation of pus ).
- Other potential complications of a spreading pericoronal abscess include peritonsillar abscess formation or cellulitis.
- Dental infections such as a pericoronal abscess can develop into septicemia and be life-threatening in persons who have neutropenia.
- The inflammation can be resolved by flushing the debris or infection from the pericoronal tissues or by removing the associated tooth or operculum.
- Pus from a pericoronal abscess associated with a lower third molar may drain along the submucosal plane and discharge as a parulis over the roots of the teeth towards the front of the mouth ( a " migratory abscess " ).
- Sometimes a " migratory abscess " of the buccal sulcus occurs with pericoronal infection, where pus from the lower third molar region tracks forwards in the submucosal plane, between the body of the mandible and the attachment of the buccinator muscle to the mandible.
- This encompasses a wide spectrum of severity, making no distinction to the extent of the inflammation into adjacent tissues or whether there is associated active infection ( " pericoronal infection " caused by micro-organisms sometimes leading to a pus filled " pericoronal abscess " or cellulitis ).

- Sometimes Pericoronal infection can spread into adjacent potential spaces ( including the sublingual space, submandibular space, parapharyngeal space, pterygomandibular space, infratemporal space, submasseteric space and buccal space ) to areas of the neck or face resulting in facial swelling, or even airway compromise ( called Ludwig's angina ).
