“…Les changements physiologiques de la grossesse mettent les patientes à un risque élevé d'infection et d'augmentation de complications. La réaction immunitaire est diminuée pendant la grossesse aboutissant à la progression rapide de l'infection, de même que la réserve d'oxygène est diminuée en présence de l'anémie de dilution [1,9].…”

“…Nous avons préféré l'anesthésie locale du fait de l'insuffisance du plateau technique, du mauvais état général des patientes. Certains auteurs ont préféré l'anesthésie générale dans le traitement chirurgical de la cellulite sur grossesse [1,9,14]. Selon la littérature, les complications de l'anesthésie générale pendant la grossesse, incluent la difficulté d'intubation et la pneumonie d'inhalation qui pourraient entraîner, chez la mère et le foetus, une hypoxie, une acidose et même le décès [3].…”

The objective of this work was to analyze the predisposing factors, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of cervico-facial cellulitis on pregnancies and to determine maternal-fetal prognosis. We conducted a longitudinal observational descriptive study from January 2011 to March 2013 including records from pregnant women with cervicofacial cellulitis treated at the Oto-Rhino-Laryngology (ORL) and cervico-facial surgery department at Gabriel Touré Hospital in Bamako. Ten women met our inclusion criteria. The median age was 23 years. The entry way was dental in all cases. Three women had taken antibiotics and 3 others antibiotics associated with non steroidal anti-inflammatory. The medico-surgical treatment had permitted to cure 8 cases. Two cases of death were recorded and 4 cases of stillbirths. The cervico-facial cellulitis during pregnancy is a serious pathology that can be life-threatening to the mother and or child. Prevention is based on the control of dental status and informing women about the importance of dental hygiene.

“…Cases of Ludwig's angina in pregnant women and postpartum women reported in literature, in addition to being potentially fatal, resulted in fetal death and acceleration of delivery due to the risk of maternal death [6][7][8][9][10]. That is, they are diseases that generate oral morbidity and directly impact the "maternal mortality" indicator.…”

Objective: To evaluate the knowledge and behaviors of nurses on the oral health of pregnant women. Material and Methods: This was a qualitative study, whose data collection was performed with 12 nurses from Belém, Brazil, through questionnaire, with recorded interview applied by a single researcher, according to a semi-structured script composed of five guiding questions, and whose results were analyzed by Content Analysis. Results: Four thematic issues were originated: 1) "All have dental caries", referring to the nurse's perception on oral health related to the biological aspect; 2) "We refer", addresses the issue of nursing care and the nurse's responsibility for prenatal care; 3) "I do not know much", reveals the nurse's sometimes limited knowledge about oral health and discusses the breadth of dental care; and 4) "The demand is very large", brings up the view of nurses regarding the difficulties of accessing dental service in SUS. Conclusion: Nurses know prenatal protocols and refer patients to dental care, but their perception about dental care during pregnancy is not very comprehensive, which instigates the strengthening of interdisciplinary work.

The aim of this study is to comprehensively review and analyse pure odontogenic maxillofacial space infections in a tertiary care hospital in Navi Mumbai over a period of 5 years. Methods A retrospective analysis of 315 patients treated at Dr. D. Y. Patil Dental College and Hospital at Nerul, Navi Mumbai, from January 2007 to December 2011 was done. Multiple variables were analysed. Localised infections like dentoalveolar infections without space involvement and infection of non-odontogenic cause were excluded from the study. Results Analysis of the records was done. Majority of patients were from lower socioeconomic background and were daily wage workers who had either consulted a general physician or a general dental practitioner or had selfmedicated themselves before presenting to us with acute symptoms. Early recognition and prompt treatment involving intravenous antibiotics with extraction of involved tooth/teeth and incision and drainage helped in resolution of infections in a span of 72 h. Medically compromised patients had longer duration of hospital stay as compared to the patients who had no underlying medical condition. Majority of space infections involved multiple spaces and local anaesthesia with sedation was found to be the satisfactory mode of anaesthesia. Complications were very few. ConclusionWe concurred that any form of odontogenic maxillofacial space infection should be rendered prompt and aggressive treatment and hospitalisation should be recommended wherever required.
