Odontogenic Infection Without Demonstrable Completion of Definitive Source-Control Obligations
Constitutional first cause
The Engine begins when:
An odontogenic infection is identified that requires definitive elimination of the source rather than temporary suppression alone.
Not when the patient develops sepsis.
Not when the tooth is extracted.
The obligation begins when definitive source control becomes necessary.
5Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery or dental ownership accepted.
6Definitive procedure planned.
7Patient understands necessity of definitive treatment.
8Extraction or other source-control procedure completed.
9Resolution verified.
10Long-term oral health obligations updated.
Constitutional observations
What The Engine makes visible
Current systems can demonstrate:
antibiotics prescribed;
swelling improved;
patient discharged.
They often cannot demonstrate:
who accepted responsibility for eliminating the infection source;
whether definitive treatment occurred;
whether temporary improvement delayed necessary care;
whether the original obligation ever actually closed.
The accountability unit is not symptom improvement.
It is definitive source control.
No worked demonstration is provisioned for this specialty in this build. Occupational Medicine (Specialty 25) is the first domain and carries the worked demonstration; the constitutional architecture above is shared across specialties.
