Résumé
The present study clarified features and prehospital care in patients with severe infection after teeth removal. Patients who were hospitalized for infection following teeth removal were included in this study. Background variables and infection severity parameters were compared between patients who underwent elective and acute teeth removal prior to hospitalization. Additionally, associations of these variables with antibiotic use were evaluated. Of the 118 patients included in the study, teeth removal was due to acute infection in 64% and removal was elective in 36%. The time span from teeth removal to hospitalization varied considerably (from <1 day to 205 days). The variation was significantly greater in patients with preceding acute removal than those with elective removal ( Severe infection can develop with a long delay after acute teeth removal. More attention should be paid to preceding symptoms and early effective treatment of these infections. A more precise timing of antibiotic use could reduce severe postoperative infections in elective teeth removal.
