RESUMO
El tratamiento odontológico sigue siendo percibido en la actualidad como una experiencia atemorizadora para muchas personas. Se han establecido diversos métodos para tratar de evaluar el temor y ansiedad que refieren las personas cuando deben recibir tra-tamientos bucales. Sin embargo, estos no han sido aplicados adecuadamente como parte de la atención clínica cotidiana. Considerando esto, podría suponer-se que el miedo es uno de los factores desencadenan-tes en la deserción de los tratamientos odontológicos, y las personas asistirían solo en el momento de una urgencia. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar el afrontamiento de emociones (miedo) en los pacien-tes que concurren a la consulta para la extracción de un tercer molar en la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (FOUBA). La metodología que se utilizó fue cuantitativa y cualitativa. El diseño fue exploratorio-descriptivo (AU)
Dental treatment is still perceived today as a frightening experience for many people. Various methods have been established to try to assess the fear and anxiety that people report when they must receive oral treatments, however, these have not been adequately applied as part of daily clinical care. Considering this, it could be assumed that fear is one of the triggering factors in desertion of dental treatments and people would attend only at the time of an emergency. The objective of this study was to analyze the coping with emotions (fear) in patients who attend the consultation for the extraction of a third molar at the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Buenos Aires (FOUBA). The methodology used was quantitative and qualitative. The design was exploratory-descriptive (AU)

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is an opportunistic pathogen that causes a wide range of diseases. Dissemination of perioral infections is a common problem in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. The aim of the study was to evaluate S. aureus carriage in the oral cavity and its dissemination to different cervicofacial regions. Clinical case 1 is a patient with a systemic history of type I diabetes which led to foot amputation one year previou sly, who presented alteration of ocular motility and the culture showed Grampositive cocci compatible with S. aureus. The patient was discharged after eight days of antibiotic therapy and drainage. Clinical case 2 was a young female without any comorbidities who had never been hospitalized before or even exposed to the hospital environment. The presence of lesions compatible with necrotizing fasciitis (NF) in the lower lip mucosal region, rapid evolution of the infection to deep planes, and evolution of the clinical picture alerted health-care providers to the need for prompt care. Clinical case 3 was an immunosuppressed patient with cellulitis which is a bacterial infection of the skin and soft tissues that occurs when the physical barrier of the skin and soft tissues, the immune system, and/or the circulatory system are affected. S. aureus is an opportunistic pathogen which causes a wide range of diseases. It inhabits the oral cavity, from where it can spread to distant cervicofacial regions. This is why it is important for health-care professionals to be aware of this niche in case of dissemination in order to provide prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
RESUMO
Objetivo: La diseminación de las infecciones periorales es un problema habitual en el área de la cirugía bucomaxilofacial, por eso es necesario concientizar acerca de la portación de Staphylococcus aureus en cavidad bucal y su diseminación. Caso clínico: Un paciente femenino, de 31 años de edad, sin antecedentes sistémicos, concurrió con fiebre, edema, eritema y dolor en el maxilar inferior, de 5 días de evolución. La mucosa labial inferior presentaba una lesión de úlcera con bordes eritematosos, indurada y dolorosa. Se internó con diagnóstico presuntivo de fascitis necrotizante. Se indicó cultivo y cirugía de urgencia para el drenaje. El cultivo arrojó Staphylococcus aureus sensible a clindamicina y eritromicina, y resistente a oxacilina. Evolucionó favorablemente. Conclusión: Las infecciones espaciales profundas pueden tener una alta incidencia de morbilidad y mortalidad. Comprender los microorganismos implicados en las infecciones y el perfil de sensibilidad ayudará a mejorar el régimen de tratamiento, mientras que la incisión y el drenaje urgente es el tratamiento primario seguro (AU)
Aim: Dissemination of pre-oral infections is a common problem in the area of oral-maxillofacial surgery. The objective of this article is to raise awareness about the carrying of Staphylococcus aureus in the mouth and its dissemination. Case report: A 31 years old female patient, with no systemic history, presented five day evolution fever, edema, erythema and pain in the lower jaw. The lower labial mucosa presented an ulcer lesion with erythematous borders, indurated and painful. She was hospitalized under necrotizing fasciitis presumptive diagnosis. Urgent culture and surgery were indicated for drainage. The culture indicated Staphylococcus aureus sensitive to clindamycin, erythromycin and oxacillin resistant. A favorable evolution followed. Conclusion: Deep space infections can have a high incidence of morbidity and mortality. Understanding the microorganisms involved in them and their sensitivity profile helps for a better treatment regimen, while incision and urgent drainage is the safe primary treatment (AU)
