Abstract

Dugo se nagađalo da bi zubi mogli biti osnovni uzročnici raznih udaljenih sistemskih bolesti. Zubni fokus tradicionalno se definira kao lokalizirana kronična infekcija koja pod određenim okolnostima može rezultirati lokalnom ili sistemskom bolešću. Najčešće dokumentirani zubni fokusi su parodontitis, periapikalne lezije, zubi s ne vitalnom pulpom, korijenski apeksi te kariozni kutnjaci. Uvriježeno mišljenje jest da se mehanizam djelovanja oralnih fokusa temelji se na hematološkom širenju... More bakterija i / ili njihovih toksina u organizam. Povijesno, uzročnicima raznih fokalnih infekcija smatrali su se krajnici, adenoidi, sinusi, razni oralni fokusi te rijeđe prostata, žučni mjehuri i bubrezi. Fokalne infekcije koje se pripisuju žarištima podrazumijevaju artritis, neuritis, mialgije, nefritis, osteomijelitis, endokarditis, apscese mozga, infekcije umjetnih zglobova, kožne apscese, upale pluća, astmu, anemiju, probavne smetnje, gastritis, pankreatitis, kolitis, dijabetes i tako dalje. Tri najčešće dokumentirana i objavljena primjera žarišne infekcije su bakterijski endokarditis, moždani apsces i infekcije umjetnih zglobova. Mišljenja oko fokalnih infekcija su dvojaka, međutim možda je premalo pažnje posvećeno apsolutnom riziku od bakterijemije kojemu je svaki pacijent visokog rizika izložen uslijed stomatološkog liječenja.

Abstract (english)

For a long time, it has been the speculation that teeth might be the underlying cause of various distant systemic diseases. A dental focus is traditionally defined as localized chronic infection that under certain circumstances may result in local or systemic disease. The most frequently reported dental foci are periodontitis, periapical lesions, teeth with non-vital pulp, root tips and partially impacted molars. The proposed mechanism of action of by dental foci is based on the... More hematologic spread of bacteria and/or their toxins into the body. Foci of infection have historically been postulated to arise from the tonsils, adenoids, sinuses and oral cavity with less common foci from the prostate, appendix, gall bladder and kidney. Focal infections attributed to foci of infection have included arthritis, neuritis, myalgias, nephritis, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, brain abscesses, prosthetic joint infections, skin abscesses, pneumonia, asthma, anemia, indigestion, gastritis, pancreatitis, colitis, diabetes, and so on. The three most documented, publicized and litigated examples of focal infection are bacterial endocarditis, brain abscess and orthopedic prosthetic joint infections. Opinions abound on many aspects of these infections, but little attention has been paid to the absolute risk to the patient that these infections pose from dental-treatment-induced bacteremias. Less
