Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the characteristics and treatment of patients hospitalized with severe odontogenic infections (SOI) at a Danish hospital from 2012 to 2019.
- A total of 384 patients were reviewed, revealing that the most common causes of infection were apical periodontitis and tooth extractions, with many receiving inadequate treatment before hospitalization.
- The findings suggest that better prehospital care from dentists is needed, focusing on addressing the infection's origin and improving antibiotic use.
