More model informationIf the roots of the tooth are short and lie above the origin of the mylohyoid muscle, then the exit point of the infection is usually above the origin of the mylohyoid muscle and results in sublingual space infection. If the infection spreads to the sublingual space, the increased swelling of these areas leads to the tongue being elevated.
Clinical features of infection into the sublingual space:
1.Pain and discomfort during deglutition (i.e swallowing). 2.Elevation and protrusion of the tongue due to oedema. 3.Breathless may occur if there is laryngeal oedema. 4.Speech may be affected. 5.Enlarged and tender submandibular nodes.
