[Analysis of odontogenic perimaxillary inflammation processes]

Basing on retrospective analysis of 542 case histories the causes producing purulent perimaxillary inflammation processes most frequently have been presented taking causal teeth, their treatment method and the state of periapical tissues into consideration. From the analysis of the material it follows that never-treated teeth with gangrenous pulp (46.3%) are the most frequent cause of perimaxillary abscess while the teeth treated endodontically were the cause of these pathologic states in 24.3% of the cases. The specific observations prove the results obtained by other authors, namely that the teeth treated endodontically without periapical inflammatory changes are rarely the cause of perimaxillary purulent processes.
