Odontogenic Infections

چکیده
The incidence, severity, morbidity, and mortality of odontogenic infections have declined dramatically over the years. This reduction in mortality was not due to the first use of penicillin in the treatment of these infections. Rather, it was due to application of the principles of the initial establishment of airway security, followed by early and aggressive surgical drainage of all anatomical spaces affected by cellulitis or abscesses. Since then, with the use of antibiotics and advanced medical supportive care, mortality associated with Ludwig’s angina has been further reduced, to 4% [1].
