This special issue will review the many unanswered questions
regarding oral and maxillofacial infections. Questions include:
Should we extract teeth in the presence of infection? Should we
wait for development of an abscess before we perform incision and
drainage? What are the antibiotics of choice for odontogenic
infections, and how long should the treatment course last? Is
clindamycin losing its effectiveness in odontogenic infections?
Should we use prophylactic antibiotics for removal of erupted
teeth, impacted teeth, dental implants, or other dentoalveolar
surgery? How can we as dentists minimize our contribution to the
problem of antibiotic resistance? How will culture and antibiotic
sensitivity testing be done in the foreseeable future? How can
osteomyelitis of the jaws be diagnosed at the earliest possible
time? How should the practicing oral and maxillofacial surgeon
manage cases of odontogenic deep neck infections that extend beyond
his/her area of expertise? Do dental infections really cause
central nervous system infections? What are the lessons we can
glean from review of recent closed malpractice cases involving oral
and maxillofacial infections? How do we manage oral infections in
the severely immunocompromised host, such as in chemotherapy for
blood cancers or in bone marrow transplant patients? What is the
role of biofilms in severe head and neck infections? How strong is
the evidence supporting oral inflammation as a cause of systemic
disease?
