Resumen
Hoy en día, las patologías inflamatorias de la cavidad oral como la Angina de Ludwig y la Pericoronitis son enfermedades en las que los pacientes deben estar alerta porque puede conducir a la muerte. No hace falta decir que es fundamental prestar atención a los síntomas y signos clínicos a tiempo. Además, una revisión periódica puede salvar la vida de las personas y mantener la salud bucodental en perfectas condiciones a diario, ayudando así al paciente a tener una correcta salud bucodental durante años sin ninguna patología bucodental. La Angina de Ludwig es una entidad patológica, odontogénica e infecciosa que representa una situación de emergencia en Cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial porque compromete la vida del paciente debido a una oclusión progresiva de la vía aérea, producto del avance de la infección hacia la submandibular, sublingual y submentoniano, lo que resulta en su colapso. Asimismo, la pericoronitis es un proceso infeccioso agudo que se relaciona con los tejidos blandos que rodean la corona de un diente incluido (terceros molares inferiores, que tienen una posición vertical, con una inclinación distal y que se encuentran cerca o en el plano de la corona), oclusión, más a menudo). Es el más frecuente de los accidentes de mucosas, generalmente aparece entre los 18 y 20 años de edad. Con todo, la etiología más aceptada hoy en día es la invasión de microorganismos en el saco pericoronario que rodea la corona del diente impactado, donde se dan las condiciones ideales para el crecimiento bacteriano.
Nowadays, inflammatory pathologies of the oral cavity such as Ludwig's Angina and Pericoronitis are diseases in which patients must be alert because it can lead to death. It goes without saying that it is essential to pay attention to clinical signs and symptoms early. In addition, a regular check-up can save people's lives and maintain oral health in perfect condition on a daily basis, thus helping the patient to have correct oral health for years without any oral pathology. Ludwig's Angina is a pathological, odontogenic and infectious entity that represents an emergency situation in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery because it compromises the life of the patient due to a progressive occlusion of the airway, product of the advance of the infection towards the submandibular, sublingual and submental, resulting in its collapse. Likewise, pericoronitis is an acute infectious process that is related to the soft tissues that surround the crown of an included tooth (lower third molars, which have a vertical position, with a distal inclination and that are close to or in the plane of the crown), occlusion, more often). It is the most frequent of mucosal accidents, generally appears between 18 and 20 years of age. However, the most accepted etiology today is the invasion of microorganisms in the pericoronal sac that surrounds the crown of the impacted tooth, where the ideal conditions for bacterial growth occur.
