“…DNI often occurs in low-resistance potential neck spaces between fascial layers; thus, it easily spreads to adjacent deep neck spaces, which can result in upper airway obstruction and sepsis [2]. Because of potential complications and life-threatening conditions, prompt incision and drainage of abscesses with microbial culture can be used to identify etiologic pathogens [3]. The peak age of incidence of 2 of 10 DNI was estimated to be in the middle-aged population, with a male predominance [3].…”

“…Some of the most common sources of DNI are odontogenic, tonsillar, salivary gland, and foreign body sources, as well as malignant sources [1,4]. Odontogenic infection accounts for approximately 42% of the etiologic factors of DNI and is related to poor oral hygiene, chronic irritation by dental caries, and tobacco smoking [3].…”

Background/Introduction: Odontogenic infection is one of the main etiologies of deep neck infection (DNI). However, the relationship between chronic periodontitis (CP) and the incidence of DNI has not been examined. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of DNI and peritonsillar abscess (PTA) after CP. Methods: The Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort 2002–2019 was used. In Study I, 4585 PTA patients were matched with 19,340 control I participants. A previous history of CP for 1 year was collected, and the odds ratios (ORs) of CP for PTA were analyzed using conditional logistic regression. In Study II, 46,293 DNI patients and 185,172 control II participants were matched. A previous history of CP for 1 year was collected, and conditional logistic regression was conducted for the ORs of CP for DNI. Secondary analyses were conducted in demographic, socioeconomic, and comorbidity subgroups. Results: In Study I, a history of CP was not related to the incidence of PTA (adjusted OR = 1.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.91–1.81). In Study II, the incidence of DNI was greater in participants with a history of CP (adjusted OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.41–1.71). The relationship between CP history and DNI was greater in groups with young, male, low-income, and rural residents. Conclusions: A prior history of CP was associated with a high incidence of DNI in the general population of Korea. Patients with CP need to be managed for the potential risk of DNI.
