Microbiology of the pericoronal pouch in mandibular third molar pericoronitis

Oral Microbiology and Immunology, 1993
The microorganisms associated with mandibular third molar pericoronitis were investigated using direct microscopy and anaerobic culture method. The pericoronal pouch was sampled with paper points in A) 8 patients without mandibular third molar pericoronitis and B) 6 patients with mandibular third molar pericoronilis.

Predominant cultivable flora in pericoronitis

Oral Microbiology and Immunology, 1991
The predominant cultivable flora in pericoronitis was investigated by culturing pus from affected sites in 20 patients. Twenty colonies were picked at random from non‐selective plates and identified using conventional biochemical and physiological tests, analysis of metabolic end‐products by gas chromatography and protein profile analysis.

Collagen metabolism in pericoronitis

Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine, 1973
Abstract. Collagen metabolism of the operculum overlying the crown of the mandibular third molar was studied in patients with and without pericoronitis. The tissues were classified as (J) overlying unerupted lower 3rd molars, (II) the operculum overlying partially erupted lower 3rd molars, (III) same as (II) except in patients having a positive past ...

Pericoronitis: Its Nature and Etiology

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1971
In this evaluation, 70% of 137 patients with pericoronitis indicated that they were under unusual emotional or physical tension. Stresses most frequently reported included fatigue, school examinations, financial worries, and menstruation. Also, 50% of those observed had previous incidents of pericoronitis around the same teeth.

Pericoronitis and military dentistry

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1966
Abstract In military dentistry pericoronitis is one of the most frequently seen conditions which are acutely painful. Not only is this condition limited in a large degree to the mandibular third molar region, but the involved third molars are usually in a vertical position and on the same occlusal level as the second molar. Control and prevention can
