ABSTRACT
Aim:
To evaluate medical records from patients who underwent abscess drainage due to odontogenic infections in a public hospital in the city of Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais, Brazil) during the period of 2003 and 2013.Methods:
A retrospective analysis of cases which required drainage of abscesses due to dental infections. The types of therapeutic procedures analyzed were endodontic drainage, intraoral mucosa drainage, periodontal drainage, and extraoral drainage.Results:
162,902 cases required dental assistance, and 32,352 cases required drainage of abscesses due to dental infections. The most frequent approach was endodontic drainage (21,313 procedures); the least frequent procedure was extraoral drainage (922 procedures).Conclusions:
Odontogenic infection is a common clinical condition in dental clinics. It should be diagnosed and treated as quickly as possible to avoid or minimize progression to more severe cases. (AU)
