Oral sepsis is a serious infectious disease. The causative agents of the disease are staphylococci and streptococci, which provoke purulent processes in the bones, muscles and internal organs of the body.
The name of the disease is associated with the oral cavity: the main place of penetration of pathogenic microbes into the human body is infection through bacterial infectious foci in the oral cavity.
Sepsis occurs after prolonged and inadequate treatment of dental caries, as well as with concomitant diseases of the oral cavity, accompanied by gum wounds. Tonsillitis, sinusitis or other infections are especially conducive to the development of the disease if there are long-term inflammatory processes in the gums. Also in the history of the development of sepsis are pulpitis, periodontitis, jaw abscesses, deep and long-lasting wounds of the tongue, cheeks and gums.
