ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the prevalence of odontogenic
facial cellulitis and identify the most affected
tooth in children diagnosed with facial cellulitis
hospitalized in the Department of Pediatric Infectious
Diseases University Hospital of Caracas in
the period 2006-2014.
Materials and methods: documentary,
descriptive and retrospective study of
children between 1-6 years of age hospitalized with
a diagnosis of odontogenic facial cellulitis in the Department
of Pediatric Infectious Diseases University
Hospital of Caracas in the period 2006-2014. A
nonrandom convenience sample, which was composed
of 310 children who met the inclusion criteria
of the investigation was taken. The data were
obtained from the medical records of the service.
An analytical, descriptive, epidemiological and
comparative analysis to meet the objectives of the
research was conducted.
Results: The prevalence
of facial cellulitis of odontogenic origin was 5.27%
compared to the total sample. The second primary
molar was the most affected with a frequency
of 49.5% tooth.
Conclusion: The prevalence of facial
cellulitis of odontogenic origin compared with
other infections requiring hospitalization was low,
male gender was the most affected, the age group
most involved with the entity was between 4 and 6
years. Primary teeth were the most affected and the
tooth most associated with this condition was the
second primary molar.
