As per my comments here Talk:Dental_caries#Odontogenic_infection_redirects_here?, leaving odontogenic infection as a redirect to dental caries is inappropriate. Lesion ( talk) 23:47, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
Acute infection:
Chronic infection:
Treatment is to remove the cause of the infection: extirpation of the pulp or tooth extraction.
Criteria for hospital admission
Hospital care
Complications
Infections of the canine space can spread via emissary veins, which have no valves to prevent back flow, to the intracranial venous system and potentially causing either a cavernous sinus thrombosis or a brain abscess. The 3rd and 6th crainial nerves lie in the walls of the cavernous sinus, and thrombosis can therefore present with a squint due to disruption of the motor supply to the extraocular muscles.
Spread in fascial planes that surround the airway, with narrowing and stridor
Spread in fascial planes to the mediastinum to cause mediastinitis. [1]
