Abstract:
Twenty patients complaining of acute dental infection were admitted to the hospital. Clinical examination, peak of daily temperature for every patient were recorded. Electrophoretic studies of plasma proteins of all patients revealed slight increase of mean value of some plasma proteins (albumin, and gamma globulins) and more pronounced increase of mean values of alpha 1, and alpha 2 and beta globulins. The temperature and plasma proteins returned to normal levels after antibiotics therapy and dental treatment.
