[Acute conditions of the oral cavity].

Preben Hørsted PH Bindslev and Søren S Schou

Ugeskr Laeger 172(44):3018-22 (2010) PMID 21044556

Acute conditions are mainly caused by inflammatory and infectious reactions in the dental pulp, periodontal tissues, periapical bone and the tissues around partially impacted teeth. Pain may also be related to traumatic injuries to the teeth and jaws as well as sequelae after oral surgery. Emergency treatment involves incision of abscesses, root canal treatment, irrigation with antiseptics, immobilisation of teeth or fractured bones, and prescription of analgetics. Antibiotics are only indicated in cases in which there is a risk that an infection spreads to adjacent regions or a risk of fever and malaise.

    Statin therapy significantly decreases the rate of clinical events in secondary prevention, however their use in patients with the acute phase of acute coronary syndromes remains controversial. Their pleiotropic effects on thrombosis, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction, might improve vascular...

    We report two cases of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, in which ASVS tests were successfully performed under hyperinsulinemic euglycemic glucose clamps. A 40-year-old male with nesidioblastosis developed continual severe hypoglycemia several years after a Billroth II-Braun gastrectomy, and continuous...
