Multivariate analysis reveals anterior visceral space involvement predicts severe complications after tooth extraction, highlighting heightened risks for patients with diabetes and heart disease.
etiology and life-threatening complications.In a multivariate analysis of anterior visceral space lesions, this was the most important independent factor in predicting life-threatening complications, including respiratory obstruction.Conclusions.Odontogenic phlegmons of the floor of the mouth, especially anaerobic ones, are a complicated group of inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial localization, characterized by airway obstruction, possible spread of infection to the mediastinum, which can lead to potentially fatal complications.Clinical assessment of patients with comorbidities, especially diabetes mellitus and ischemic heart disease, requires a high level of attention to the occurrence of potential complications that can be life-threatening.
