Sažetak
Ninety-one patients with acute suppurative infection of the facial and maxillary bones have been treated at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery of the General Hospital in Osijek since the establishment of the Department, i. e. a period of 15 months. In the material investigated dentogenic irifections hold a dominant place with 82 %, while ali the other infections together account for the remaining 18 %. The cause o f dentogenic infections were traced back to pulpless teeth, residue roots,dentitio difficilis , suppurative odontogenic cysts and infected extraction wounds. The other suppurative infections of this region were abscesses o f the lip and the jaw, sialolithiasis, chronic exacerbated sialotithiasis, infected tumors and cases of infection resulting from injection of anaestehics. Only conservative treatment was in 31 patients, while in 60 patients surgical treatment was applied as well. Exclusive conservative therapy was applied in cases of mild suppurations only, and in cases where the inflammatory canges showed signs of regression in the course of the treatment. This treatm ent was applied until the suppurations diasppeared. Surgical treatment was applied in cases with marked colliquation and in inf iltrate s where, in spite of adequate conservative therapy, clear signs of spreading and deterioration of the general condition of the patient were noticed. In the paper a special review is given by the authors of their attitude towards individual groups of acute suppurative infection of that region and relevant tables are given. The authors did not have a single lethal case in this series of patients treated for acute suppurative infection of the maxillofacial region.
The aim was to remove the cause of the acute suppurations definitively. If in the course of the treatment this was not possible it was done at a later stage.
