BACKGROUND Odontogenic infections are recognized as one of the most common diseases in the world. Organisms that cause dental infection and are a part of the oral normal flora include dental plaque bacteria, mucosal surface bacteria, and gingival bacteria. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of odontogenic infections by involving the facial and cervical spaces in patients referred to Shahid Rahnemoon Hospital from 2014 to 2018. METHODS This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The sampling method was census and 308 patients with all types of odontogenic infections associated with the involvement of the facial and cervical spaces referred to Shahid Rahnemoon Hospital from 2014 to 2018 were included in the study. Questionnaire was used for data collection. The data was entered into SPSS version 23 software and analysed using statistical tests. RESULTS The mean age of participants was 31.10 ± 14.48; the mean number of hospitalization days was 4.83 ± 2.52 days; the mean body temperature was 37.45 ± 0.54. Of the 308 patients studied, 221 (71.8 %) had no history of systemic disease. Also, 294 (5 %) had no airway involvement. The most commonly prescribed antibiotic was penicillin + metronidazole with a frequency of 54.9 %, The most common tooth that was the source of infection was mandibular tooth no. 6 with a frequency of 22.7 %, the most common type of treatment was incision + drainage + antibiotic therapy with a frequency of 44.2 %; the most common involved area was the submandibular + buccal space with a frequency of 20.1 % and the most common age range of involvement was 20 - 29 years. CONCLUSIONS In odontogenic infections, penicillin + metronidazole is the most commonly used antibiotic and buccal + submandibular space is the most common area involved.

A well-preserved mouth apparatus consisting of jaws and a radula was found in situ within the body chamber of the goniatite Cravenoceras fayettevillae Gordon, 1965 (Neoglyphiocerataceae: Cravenoceratidae), from the middle Chesterian (Upper Mississippian) of Arkansas. Both upper and lower jaws consist of a black material. The lower jaw is characterized by a widely opened larger outer lamella and a shorter inner lamella. The upper jaw is fragmental. The radula is preserved in the anterior portion of the buccal space and comprises a series of tooth elements. Each transverse tooth row consists of seven teeth (a rhachidian and pairs of two lateral and one marginal teeth), with a pair of marginal plates. This arrangement is typical of radulae of other ammonoids of Carboniferous to Cretaceous age, coleoids, and the orthoconic “nautiloid” Michelinoceras (Silurian, Michelinocerida), suggesting a phylogenetic affinity among them.

Purpose: To analyze spread of odontogenic infections in the elderly, especially the prevalence and characteristic multidetectorcomputed tomography (MDCT) findings.Materials and methods: Ninety-seven patients with odontogenic infection who underwent 64-row MDCT were evaluated inthis study. The study patients comprised 31 elderly patients (60 years) and 66 adults (< 60 years). Age, gender, location ofcausal tooth, and spread of odontogenic infections with MDCT were analyzed.Results: The elderly patients (74.2%) had higher ratio with female compared to the adults (57.6%). The buccal space (93.5%)was the most common spread of odontogenic infections for the elderly patients, followed by the masticator space (54.8%) andsubmandibular space (45.2%), whereas the buccal space (97.0%) was the most common spread of odontogenic infections for theadults, followed by submandibular space (65.2%) and masticator space (51.5%). Logistic multivariate regression analysis forodontogenic infections in the elderly demonstrated that the gender (odds ratio = 3.462, P = .024) and submandibular space (oddsratio = 0.168, P = .013) were significant variable.Conclusions: The study showed the prevalence and characteristic MDCT findings of spread of odontogenic infections in theelderly.
