Dental disorders and dental treatment are among the variety of causes of brain abscess.
CASE DESCRIPTION:
CONCLUSION
This case we present suggests that, in individual cases, prophylactic professional tooth cleaning may cause transient bacteremia that may lead to brain abscesses even in patients who are immunocompetent. Specific precautions are not known. Treatment of these patients should be interdisciplinary and involve neurologists, neurosurgeons, dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons.
