Abstract:
Pericoronitis is the medical term for an oral inflammatory condition brought on by an infection of the soft tissues in proximity to the crown of an immature tooth, including gingiva and dental follicle. It is believed that microbial entry into the follicular area begins the infection once the tooth's follicle establishes contact with the oral cavity. Pericoronitis's microbiota primarily consists of anaerobes. It is commonly accepted that the build-up of food particles close to the opercula and the occlusal injuries caused by the opposing tooth to the tissues present pericoronally both accelerate this process. Third molars that are oriented vertically are more frequently affected by pericoronitis than those that are oriented horizontally, which had a lower incidence of the condition. Pericoronitis may be more likely to develop in patients with impaired immune systems, such as those with uncontrolled diabetes or immunodeficiency diseases. Patients with acute pericoronitis exhibit regional erythema, edema, purulence, and intense throbbing pain radiating to the ear, throat, floor of the mouth, temporomandibular joint, and posterior submandibular region during intraoral physical examination. Advanced cases including those developing into cellulitis, Ludwig's angina and peritonsillar abscesses may necessitate immediate attention including surgical intervention. It is advised to utilize only localized treatment measures for patients with localized pain and edema involving the pericoronal tissues and are free of local or systemic symptoms. Antimicrobial therapy is advised if the patient is displaying regional or systemic manifestations in as well as local pain and edema. Surgery is advised only when there have been two or more incidences of pericoronitis or other pathological conditions which maybe potentially be complicated by the presence of partially erupted tooth.

Abstract:
This work provides a narrative review covering evidence-based recommendations for pericoronitis management (Part A) and a systematic review of antibiotic prescribing for pericoronitis from January 2000 to May 2021 (Part B). Part A presents the most recent, clinically significant, and evidence-based guidance for pericoronitis diagnosis and proper treatment recommending the local therapy over antibiotic prescribing, which should be reserved for severe conditions. The systematic review includes publications analyzing sets of patients treated for pericoronitis and questionnaires that identified dentists’ therapeutic approaches to pericoronitis. Questionnaires among dentists revealed that almost 75% of them prescribed antibiotics for pericoronitis, and pericoronitis was among the top 4 in the frequency of antibiotic use within the surveyed diagnoses and situations. Studies involving patients showed that antibiotics were prescribed to more than half of the patients with pericoronitis, and pericoronitis was among the top 2 in the frequency of antibiotic use within the monitored diagnoses and situations. The most prescribed antibiotics for pericoronitis were amoxicillin and metronidazole. The systematic review results show abundant and unnecessary use of antibiotics for pericoronitis and are in strong contrast to evidence-based recommendations summarized in the narrative review. Adherence of dental professionals to the recommendations presented in this work can help rapidly reduce the duration of pericoronitis, prevent its complications, and reduce the use of antibiotics and thus reduce its impact on patients’ quality of life, healthcare costs, and antimicrobial resistance development.

Abstract:
Pericoronitis is an infectious disease affecting the operculum overlying a semi-erupted or erupting tooth. Pericoronitis occurs mainly or particularly on the lower third molars. It is painfully debilitating at times and it's a common periodontal emergency found for many diseases, with tobacco being the major modifiable risk factor. It has a negative impact over oral health and oral hygiene. The aim of this study is to analyse the prevalence of pericoronitis among smokers. Patients included in this retrospective study were those with a diagnosis of pericoronitis from July 2019 till March 2020. Socio-demographic and clinical data of all the 109 patients collected such as age, gender, tooth or teeth affected by pericoronitis and treatment undergone were retrieved from the recorded details of the patients. This data was tabulated in excel and then imported to SPSS software for statistical analysis. During the study period, 109 patients presented with pericoronitis. The peak age for the prevalence of pericoronitis was 20-25 years accounting for 75.2% of the patients. The prevalence of lower left third molar (54.1%) being affected with pericoronitis was higher than the lower right third molar being affected (45.9%). Extraction (95.4%) was the frequently performed treatment for pericoronitis. Pericoronitis occurs more often in 20-25 years of age patients who are smokers. While the lower left third molar being the most common tooth involved in pericoronitis and extraction of the affected teeth was the treatment of choice among the majority of the population.

Abstract:
Background. Pericoronitis is a painful inflammatory condition commonly associated with third molar teeth. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between oral hygiene and periodontal health status and the presence of pericoronitis in semi-impacted third molar teeth. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted, and 54 patients having at least one mandibular vertically semi-impacted third molar tooth with or without pericoronitis were consecutively enrolled. Subjects with pericoronitis and subjects with healthy third molars were selected according to symptoms in the gingiva overlying semi-impacted third molar teeth. Periodontal health status and oral hygiene were evaluated with the measures of plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and total number of sites with a probing depth PD ≥ 4 mm . The clinical data collected in this study was analyzed with Mann–Whitney U test using SPSS 20.0 package program. Results. The PI scores were found to be significantly higher in patients with pericoronitis ( p < 0.05 ). Although the GI scores and PD scores were higher in patients with pericoronitis, the difference did not reach statistical significance when compared with those in healthy subjects ( p > 0.05 ). Conclusion. The findings obtained in this study suggest that the amount of dental plaque was positively associated with third molar pericoronitis. Gingival and periodontal health conditions were similar between patients with and without pericoronitis. Improving oral hygiene and controlling dental plaque may help prevent third molar pericoronitis.

Abstract:
The removal of impacted third molars is one of the most common procedures inoral surgery. This is because third molars show high incidence of impaction and areoften associated with pain due to pericoronitis.Assess the reasons for extraction and describe the type of tooth angulations andstate of eruption. Determine the association of selected factors with pericoronitis as areason for extraction.A total of 256 patients having symptomatic third molars and referred to the oralsurgery department for consultation, diagnosis and treatment of partially orcompletely impacted third molars in the mandible and maxilla were included in thesample. All these teeth were surgically treated.the most common cause of surgical extraction of third molars was pericoronitis(86.7%). The condition occurs mostly in mandible and in the 25-29 years age group.Horizontal/transverse third molars were more affected by pericoronitis (96.9%)followed by vertical angulations (91.6%). Pericoronitis encountered more frequentlywith complete soft tissue impaction (93.3%).pericoronitis was the most common cause of third molar extraction. Factorsassociated with increased risk of having pericoronitis include: age group 25-29 years,mandible location, Horizontal / transverse angulation type and complete soft tissueimpactions.

Abstract:
Background: Pericoronitis is inflammation of the operculum associated with a partially erupted third molar. It is a highly prevalent infection of the oral cavity and presents as a painful sensation of the soft tissue encompassing the crown of the involved tooth. Though pericoronitis is common, there is no evidence-based standard-of-care for treatment of emergency patients with acute pericoronitis. Study Design: In this study, anonymous clinicians were asked to participate in an online survey with questions formulated to identify professional clinical background, emergency treatment preferred for acute pericoronitis, number of associated complications, frequency of third molar extraction, and patient satisfaction. Results and Conclusion: A statistical analysis of the collected data regarding the variance among different treatment plans and associated complications revealed little consensus in the treatment of pericoronitis. The lack of consistency of the responses focusing on the preferred treatment for emergency patients with acute pericoronitis reinforces the need for developing a standard-of-care to train future dental professionals based on well-designed randomized controlled clinical trials and meta-analyses. Practical Implications: The ultimate goal is developing a treatment option with the fewest complications to provide the best health care for patients with pericoronitis. This issue is seen not only as an acute infection but also has the potential to impact overall health.

Abstract:
Abstract Aim The aims of this study were to investigate the association between pericoronitis and the angular position, state of eruption, and the depth of impaction of mandibular third molars as well as to compare these findings with similar studies. Methods and Materials A total of 242 patients ranging in age from 18 to 41 years of age suffering from pericoronitis were examined. Subjective and objective observations were recorded on a checklist that included the name, age, gender, type of pericoronitis and state of eruption, position of the affected tooth for each patient as well as any radiographic changes in the mandibular third molars. Results The peak age for the occurrence of pericoronitis was in the 21-25 year-old age group. The soft tissues adjacent to vertically inclined, partially erupted mandibular third molars at the level of or above the occlusal plane were the most commonly affected. There was a statistically significant association between radiographic changes and the mesioangular position of the tooth (p<0.002) and the age group of the subject (p=0.004), but the association was not statistically significant between the gender of the subject, type of pericoronitis, state of eruption, and depth of impaction. Conclusion The soft tissues adjacent to vertically inclined, partially erupted mandibular third molars were more frequently affected by pericoronitis than teeth that are soft tissue impacted or erupted. Mesioangular erupted third molars were the teeth most frequently associated with bone loss. Clinical Significance The soft tissues at highest risk of developing pericoronitis are those adjacent to mandibular third molars that are partially erupted, in a vertical position, and erupted to the level of or above the occlusal plane.

Abstract:
The classic stimulus for cellular cytokine production is bacterial lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin). It was therefore hypothesized that tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) may be responsible for pericoronitis. TNF-α and its receptors were detected by immunohistochemical staining in third molar pericoronitis in ten patients and ten healthy control samples. The percentage of TNF-α positive cells was high in pericoronitis (p = 0.0317). TNF receptors TNF-R1 and TNF-R2 were found in macrophage- and fibroblast-like cells, vascular endothelial cells in post-capillary venules, and basal epithelial cells in pericoronitis, but were only weakly expressed in controls. Increased expression of interleukin-1β and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 was found as a biological indicator of TNF-α ligand-receptor interaction. Explanted tissues acquired destructive potential upon TNF-α stimulation, whereas TNF-α blockers controlled it in inflamed tissues. These findings suggest that, in pericoronitis, inflammatory and resident cells produce and respond to potent pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α, with pathogenic and potential therapeutic relevance.

Neste trabalho apresentamos um trabalho das possíveis relações imaginológicas do espaço pericoronário com a presença de cistos dentígeros relacionados com terceiros molares inferiores. As radiografias panorâmicas em 2 grupos: dentes não irrompidos e dentes parcialmente irrompidos, sendo então relacionados a gênero, idade, tecido inflamatório e de cistos dentígeros. Estes dados foram obtidos a partir de prontuários de pacientes (gênero e idade) e por meio de traçados e mensuração com o auxílio de instrumentos, com base em imagens obtidas em radiografias panorâmicas provenientes de prontuários arquivados, que já eram acompanhados pelos os resultados do exame histopatológico. As amostras nos revelaram que não há relação entre a largura do capuz pericoronário e a presença de cistos dentígeros,pois foram encontrados casos de cistos desta natureza com larguras a partir de 1,8 mm. Foram levadas em consideração evidências de que em larguras maiores teríamos uma maior incidência de lesões como esta, porém os resultados demonstraram não ser possível estabelecer um diagnóstico preciso com base apenas em informações de natureza dimensional. Com base nos resultados obtidos comprovamos que o exame histopatológico, complementando o exame imaginológico, é o único meio confiável para determinar a presença de cistos dentígeros<br>The aim of this study was to verify the relationship between the radiographically measured of the pericoronal space in order to contribute to the diagnosis of dentigerous cyst related to third molars inferior.The panoramic radiography were reparted in two different groups: unerupted teeth and partially erupted teeth and there relations with gender, age, inflammatory tissue and dentigerous cyst. This data were obtained by measuring the pericoronal space with precision instruments on files of panoramic radiographies that includes results from hystopatological exams. The samples showed there was no relation between the diameter of pericoronal sack and detigerous cysts. There was found data of dentigerous cysts cases from 1,8mm of diameter. There were evidences that as large as the diameter the incidence of dentigerous cysts were higher. But there were no possibilities to have a definitive diagnosis only based on dimensional informations. At the end of study, the results corroborate that the hystopatological exam with imaging exams is the only way to determinate definitely the the nature of disease
