Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Sepsis

Background:

  • Iatrogenic infections are potential complications in dental procedures.
  • Streptococcal sepsis is a severe systemic infection.

Observation:

  • A case of sepsis was caused by a stomatological device retained in a dental alveolus.
  • The device was left during dental treatment and prosthetic restoration.

Findings:

  • The retained device led to a dentigenous (tooth-related) infection.
  • This infection triggered a systemic inflammatory response, indicating sepsis.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of meticulous surgical site management in dentistry.
  • Underscores the risk of severe sepsis from retained foreign bodies in dental procedures.
  • Emphasizes the need for vigilance in diagnosing and treating iatrogenic infections.
