pericoronitis การใช้

• Typically cases involve acute pericoronitis of lower third molar teeth.
• The treatment of pericoronitis is through pain management and by resolving the inflammation.
• Retaining the tooth requires improved oral hygiene in the area to prevent further acute pericoronitis episodes.
• The definition of pericoronitis is inflammation in the soft tissues surrounding the crown of a tooth.
• Acute pericoronitis is associated with a wide range of symptoms including severe pain, swelling and fever.
• Tooth removal is often indicated in cases of recurrent pericoronitis, extensive decay, or tooth impaction.
• Ludwig's angina ), although the majority of cases of pericoronitis are localized to the tooth.
• Chronic pericoronitis can present with no or only mild symptoms and long remissions between any escalations to acute pericoronitis.
• Chronic pericoronitis can present with no or only mild symptoms and long remissions between any escalations to acute pericoronitis.
• Rarely, the spread of infection from pericoronitis may compress the airway and require hospital treatment ( e . g.
• Even in people with normal immune function, pericoronitis may cause a spreading infection into the potential spaces of the head and neck.
• During " teething " in young children, pericoronitis can occur immediately preceding eruption of the deciduous teeth ( baby or milk teeth ).
• Extraction of teeth which are involved in pericoronitis carries a higher risk of dry socket, a painful complication which results in delayed healing.
• Therefore, bilateral pain from the lower third molar region is unlikely to be caused by pericoronitis and more likely to be muscular in origin.
• Wisdom teeth are not included because pericoronitis and tooth impaction may cause isolated periodontal defects which do not represent the general periodontal condition of the rest of the mouth.
• Pericoronitis is caused by an accumulation of bacteria and debris beneath the operculum, or by mechanical trauma ( e . g . biting the operculum with the opposing tooth ).
• Pericoronitis is often associated with partially erupted and impacted mandibular third molars ( lower wisdom teeth ), often occurring at the age of wisdom tooth eruption ( 15-24 ).
• The route of infection in most cases is from infected lower molars or from pericoronitis, which is an infection of the gums surrounding the partially erupted lower ( usually third ) molars.
• It is rare for pericoronitis to occur in association with both lower third molars at the same time, despite the fact that many young people will have both lower wisdom teeth partially erupted.
• Evidence of systemic involvement ( such as a fever higher than 38.5 癈, cervical lymphadenopathy, or malaise ) also indicates antibiotic therapy, as do rapidly spreading infections, cellulitis, or severe pericoronitis.
