Buccal Space

The spread of pus or cellulitis in an infection.
Buccal space. In health these spaces do not exist. It is a potential space in the cheek and is paired on each side. Odontogenic source maxillary second and third molars most common. The buccal space also termed the buccinator space is a fascial space of the head and neck sometimes also termed fascial spaces or tissue spaces.
Fascial spaces also termed fascial tissue spaces or tissue spaces are potential spaces that exist between the fasciae and underlying organs and other tissues. The buccal space is superficial to the buccinator muscle and deep to the platysma muscle and the skin. The buccal spaces are paired fat containing spaces on each side of the face forming cheeks. Buccal space infection may occur due to odontogenic infection from premolars and molars of either mandibular or maxillary dentition.
Ct not always necessary but can define abscess. Buccal administration involves placing a drug between your gums. Differential diagnosis facial swelling. Specifically these are the zygomaticus major and minor and risorius.
The buccal space is superficial to the buccinator muscle and deep to the platysma muscle and the skin. It is a potential space in the cheek and is paired on each side. Space between buccinator and superficial fascia skin. The buccal space is one such compartment that has not received an equitable representation in the literature relative to other compartments primarily because of the predominance of adipose tissue and its small size.
The buccal space also termed the buccinator space is a fascial space of the head and neck sometimes also termed fascial tissue spaces or tissue spaces. The buccal space is an incomplete anatomical fascial space bounded laterally by the superficial musculoaponeurotic system and muscles of fascial expression. It is located between the buccinator and platysma muscles therefore it is only a small potential space with limited contents. They are only created by pathology e g.
Each space is enveloped by the superficial investing layer of the deep cervical fascia. When the abscess is so s.
