Infectious emergencies occupy a very significant part of odontology consultation. So, a retrospective study undertaken in 2003 in a french hospital (Dijon) was down to analyze the distribution of infectious pathologies in odontological emergencies. 352 patients were admitted during 2003 for an infectious dental etiology. The age of patients lies from 4 to 96. The pathology most frequently met is firstly the endodontical abscess and secondly cellulitis. The causal teeth from all confused arcades are first molars. And more surprising is the prevalence of the infectious emergencies on the left side. Regarding the distribution according to the period of the year, a slight prevalence is noticed in summer. This analyse permits to evaluate the various parameters which can influence infectious etiology urgencies.
Résumé
Les urgences infectieuses occupent une place non négligeable dans les urgences odontologiques. Une étude rétrospective a été menée en 2003 dans un hôpital français (Dijon) afin d’analyser les urgences infectieuses en Odontologie. 352 patients ont été admis en 2003 pour une infection d’origine bucco-dentaire. L’âge des patients allait de 4 ans à 96 ans. La pathologie la plus fréquemment rencontrée est l’abcès endodontique compliqué par une cellulite faciale. Les dents causales à l’origine de ces urgences infectieuses sont le plus souvent les premières molaires. Ces urgences infectieuses prédominaient légèrement du côté gauche et pendant l’été.
