  • meningitis and subdural empyema as complication of Pterygomandibular Space abscess upon tooth extraction
    Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry, 2016
    Co-Authors: Paolo Cariati, Almudena Cabelloserrano, Fernando Monsalveiglesias, Maria Romanramos, Blas Garciamedina
    Abstract:

    Complication of dental infections might be various and heterogeneous. The most common complications are represented by maxilar celulitis, canine Space celulitis, infratemporal Space celulitis, temporal celulitis and bacteremia. Among rarest complications we found: sepsis, bacterial endocarditis, mediastinitis, intracranial complications, osteomyelitis, etc. Although dental infections are often considered trivial entities, sometimes they can reach an impressive gravity. In this regard, the present study describes a case of dental infection complicated by meningitis, subdural empiema and cerebral vasculitis. Furthermore, we observed other neurological complications, like thalamic ischemic infarction, during the disease evolution. Noteworthy, these entities were not presented when the patient was admitted to hospital. Therefore, the main aim of this report is to highlight the serious consequences that an infection of dental origin could cause. Key words:Meningitis, subdural empyema, odontogenic infections.

  • RETRIEVAL OF A BROKEN NEEDLE IN THE Pterygomandibular Space
    Journal of the American Dental Association (1939), 1999
    Co-Authors: Roy D. Bedrock, Andrew Skigen, M. Franklin Dolwick
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT Background Dental needle breakage can be a devastating experience for both practitioners and patients. The authors describe the surgical management for localizing a broken dental needle in the Pterygomandibular Space and how to prevent needle breakage. Case Description The authors present the case of a 35-year-old man who had a chief complaint of pain and the ability to feel a broken needle during mandibular movements after receiving an inferior alveolar nerve block from his general dentist before dental treatment. Surgical management involved localizing the broken needle using radiographs and removing the broken needle under general anesthesia. Clinical Implications Preventing needle breakage is important, as it can be a traumatic experience for the patient. Practitioners should establish the patient's cooperation by explaining to him or her what to expect before injection. Practitioners also should routinely inspect dental needles before administering injections and minimize the number of repeated injections using the same needle.

  • Surgical extraction of mandibular third molar in Pterygomandibular Space: a case report
    Journal of the Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, 2013
    Co-Authors: Youngkyu Lee, Sungsoo Park, Hoon Myoung
    Abstract:

    Impacted mandibular third molars are located between the second mandibular molar and mandibular ramus. However, ectopic mandibular third molars with heterotopic positions are reported in the subcondylar or Pterygomandibular Space. The usual cause of malposition is a cyst or tumor, and malposition without a pathology is rare. This case report described an impacted mandibular third molar in the Pterygomandibular Space without any associated pathology.

  • Removal of Broken Instruments in Soft Tissue at Mandibular Area Using a Dental Mini C-arm: Case Reports
    Maxillofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2010
    Co-Authors: Sungsoo Park, H.j. Yang, Soon-jung Hwang
    Abstract:

    Intraoperative breakage of instruments can be occurred unexpectedly. To prevent damage of neighboring important anatomic structures and consequent complications, broken instruments should be removed as soon as possible. There have been several methods to remove broken instruments. One of them is the Carm fluoroscopy which is commonly used for locating metal foreign bodies. However, its application for removal of broken instruments in the oral and maxillofacial area is not common. In our experiences with the removal of two broken instruments in mandibular area, the newly developed dental mini C-arm was used to find broken instrument in soft tissue, because it gives real-time in situ information for the intraoperative location. We report two cases with broken instruments, a broken dental needle in the Pterygomandibular Space and a broken straight bur in the mandibular angle area. They were identified and could be removed safely using a dental mini C-arm.

  • The implications of a broken needle in the Pterygomandibular Space: clinical guidelines for prevention and retrieval.
    Pediatric dentistry, 2002
    Co-Authors: Rephael Zeltser, Carlos Cohen, Nardi Casap
    Abstract:

    The implication of a broken anesthetic injection needle in the posterior part of the oral cavity is described. Needle breakage is preventable if proper preventive measures are used during local anesthesia administration. A broken needle should be removed immediately after a thorough localization and not left in the tissue, as previously believed. Computerized tomography (CT) scan is the proper diagnostic device to locate a broken needle. A careful surgical approach under general anesthesia is recommended to retrieve the needle. Clinical preventive guidelines are described and presented to the pediatric dentist.
