[10] [14] Periapical abscesses of these teeth also result in lingual cortical penetration, leading to submandibular infection. [ 10 ] Other causes such as oral ulcerations, infections secondary to oral malignancy, mandible fractures, sialolithiasis-related submandibular gland infections, [ 10 ] and penetrating injuries of the mouth floor [ 15 ...
Submandibular sialadenitis has been said to only account for 10% of all cases diagnosed as sialadenitis. [6] Chronic sialadenitis has been classified as a relatively common presentation, whereas bacterial sialadenitis and sclerosing polycystic sialadenitis are defined as rare. [ 11 ]
Sometimes mandibular fractures in the region of the angle of the mandible may cause an infection of the submasseteric space. [1] The signs and symptoms of a submasseteric abscess may include marked trismus (i.e. difficulty opening the mouth, since the masseter elevates the mandible and it becomes restricted) and swelling in the region of the ...
Sometimes the buccal space is reported to be the most commonly involved fascial space by dental abscesses, [2] although other sources report it is the submandibular space. [1] Infections originating in either maxillary or mandibular teeth can spread into the buccal space, usually maxillary molars (most commonly) and premolars or mandibular ...
This space may be created by pathology, such as the spread of pus in an infection. Odontogenic infection of the mandibular anterior teeth may erode through the lingual cortical plate of the mandible. If the level at which the infection breaks out of the mandible is below the attachment of the mylohyoid, then it will spread into the submental ...

Infection that begins below the buccinator's attachment point with the maxilla will spread inferiorly into the vestibular space. Rarely, the infection will spread upwards into the maxillary sinus and cause a sinusitis. [1] In the lower jaw (mandible), the primary spaces are the sublingual, submandibular, and submental spaces.
