Extractions in the Presence of Acute Infections

C. S. MARTIS 1 and D. T. KARAKASIS 1

1 Department of Maxillo-Facial Surgery, School of Dentistry, University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece

Of 1,376 extractions performed in the presence of acute infection, 327 were performed in the presence of a coexisting fascial space abscess. No serious complications were observed. It seems that the relation of dental operations to the intracranial infections has been overestimated. The extraction of teeth in cases of acute suppurative infection treats the primary dentoalveolar infection and prevents the development of fascial space abscesses.
