FOCAL INFECTIONS: WHAT IS THE POINT?

Focal infections; These are the processes that define the infection caused by microorganisms originating from an infective focus in a second region, tissue and organ. These infections, which are not easy to detect, may originate from many different sources. In addition, the transport of relevant microorganisms to sensitive tissue occurs through mechanisms that are still not fully elucidated. In this presentation, findings will be made on the formation process and effects of focal infections, diagnostic aids will be mentioned, and an effort will be made to raise awareness about focal infections among dentists.
