dental abscess: a microbiological review
نویسندگان
چکیده
dental abscess is a frequently occurring infectious process known to the health practice. the fate of the infection depends on the virulence of the bacteria, host resistance factors, and regional anatomy. serious consequences arising from the spread of a dental abscess lead to significant morbidity and mortality. acute dental abscess is polymicrobial, comprising of strict anaerobes, such as anaerobic cocci, prevotella , fusobacterium species, and facultative anaerobes, such as viridans group streptococci and the streptococcus anginosus group. numerous novel, uncultivable and fastidious organisms have been identified as potential pathogens with the use of non-culture techniques. the majority of localized dental abscesses respond to surgical treatment while the use of antimicrobials is limited to severe spreading infections. there is a need for good-quality clinical trials of sufficient size to identify the ideal treatment. the microbiology of the acute dentoalveolar abscess and its treatment in the light of improved culture and diagnostic methods are reviewed. key words: antibiotic sensitivity, dental abscess, diagnosis, microbiology, therapy

More recently, cloning and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene have been used to characterize the microbial composition of the oral biofilm, but the methodological limitations of this approach have now been recog...

متن کاملPYOGENIC LIVER ABSCESS: REVIEW OF 54 CASES
Background: Historically open surgical drainage has been the treatment of choice for pyogenic liver abscess. The records of 54 patients with pyogenic liver abscess were reviewed to determine whether earlier diagnosis with current imaging tests and definitive treatment with antibiotics and aspiration drainage was an effective alternative to surgery. Methods: The clinical features, laborator...
