In acute odontogenic periostitis, swelling of the gums, hyperemia and bleeding of the mucous membrane of the alveolar canals, regional lymphadenitis, low-grade body temperature, pain on palpation of the gums and teeth, which are located next to the inflamed area, are observed.

Treatment of acute odontogenic periostitis includes removal of the infected tooth, antibacterial therapy, physical therapy and symptomatic treatment. In severe cases, surgery may be required to remove necrotic tissue and drain the abscess.

Periostitis is an acute inflammation of the periosteum of the tooth, which usually develops as a result of infection of its tissues.

Periostitis can occur in both adults and children. However, in most cases, it is typical for the age group of 30-50 years.
