Evaluation of Odontogenic Infections, Complications and Treatment - A Review

Abstract

Odontogenic infections are important problems in dentistry. If these infections are not correctly diagnosed and treated, they can cause life-threatening complications. The treatment of these infections is generally carried out with endodontic, surgical and antibiotic therapy, or combinations of these methods. In addition, the use of wrong antibiotics is an important problem in dentistry. For these reasons, dentists should be careful about early diagnosis and proper treatment of odontogenic infections. In this literature review, proper approaches, possible complications and the treatment of infection are included in the evaluation of odontogenic infections

ODONTOJENİK ENFEKSİYONLARIN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ, KOMPLİKASYONLARI VE TEDAVİSİ– DERLEME

Abstract

Odontojenik enfeksiyonlar, diş hekimliğinde önemli problemlerin başında yer almaktadır. Bu enfeksiyonlar doğru şekilde teşhis edilip tedavi edilmezlerse, yayılarak hayati tehlike yaratacak komplikasyonlar oluşturabilirler. Bu enfeksiyonların tedavisi genel olarak endodontik tedavi, cerrahi tedavi ve antibiyotik tedavisi veya bu yöntemlerin kombinasyonları ile yapılmaktadır. Ayrıca yanlış antibiyotik kullanımı da diş hekimliğinde önemli bir problemdir. Bu nedenlerle diş hekimleri odontojenik enfeksiyonların tedavisinde erken teşhis ve doğru tedavi konusunda dikkatli olmalıdır. Bu literatür derlemesinde odontojenik enfeksiyonların değerlendirilmesinde doğru yaklaşımlar, gelişebilecek olası komplikasyonlar ve enfeksiyonun tedavisi konuları yer almaktadır.
