Introduction: Intraoral abscesses are mainly odontogenic abscesses which need ambulatory treatment, which often involves the extraction of the causal tooth. This is a clinical analysis of occurrence and treatment of an odontogenic abscess in patients of The Department Oral Surgery at the Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin treated between 2010-2016. Material/Methods: The estimate made was based on medical records between the years 2010-2016. Research applied to 327 patients, comprising 183 males and 144 females. The age of the patients ranged from 3 to 87. In the data analysis the patients’ demographic data, treatment, location and causes of abscess were taken into account. Results: The largest age group in which abscesses occurred was comprised of people between the ages of 21-30. Abscess occurrence was more common in males. The molar was the most common causal tooth in permanent as well as primary dentition. The most common abscess location was vestibule of the oral cavity. Conclusions: Due to hygiene negligence, a large amount of odontogenic tissue inflammation and intraoral abscesses have been found to require surgical intervention despite widespread access to dental care. The most important in abscess treatment is surgical incision; pharmacotherapy should be additional treatment. The most common antibiotic used for inflammation treatment was clindamycin.
