Abstract: Dental abscess is a frequently occurring infectious process known to the health practice. The reaction of the infection relay on the virulence of the bacteria, host resistance factors, and regional anatomy. Serious consequences arising from the spread of a Dental Abscess lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Acute dental abscess is Polymicrobial, comprising of strict anaerobes, such as anaerobic Cocci, Prevotella, Fusobacterium species, and Facultative anaerobes, such as viridans group Streptococci and the Streptococcus anginosus group. In the pathogenesis and evolution of Glomerular Nephropathies, localized infections play an important role. Attention is usually focused on upper respiratory tract infections (pharyngeal, tonsillar and sinusal), less concern being given to dental foci. The incidence of Post Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis appears to be decreasing. Post Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis is caused by an infection with Streptococcus Bacteria. The infection causes blood vessels in the kidneys to develop inflammation; this block the renal organs ability to filter urine.
Keywords: Dental Abscess, Glumerulonephritis, Streptococcus and Kidney infection.
