2. EXTRACTION
An ideal tooth extraction is the
orderly procedure of removal of
whole tooth or tooth root in a
painless manner so that the
investing tissues incur minimal
trauma and the resultant wound
heals uneventfully
Extraction of tooth may look simple
but it may lead to many
complications if done without a
proper planning and execution.
3. SOURCES OF COMPLICATION
Surgical complications may arise from either one or a
combination of the following factors.
THE PATIENT - Medically compromised patient. leading to an
persistent hemorrhage or delayed healing.
THE CLINICIAN
-level of training , skills and experience.
-attitudes towards total patient care.
THE SURGICAL PROCEDURE
risk depends on :
-complexity of the procedure.
-local anatomy of the surgical site
-proximity of important vital structures.
4. COMPLICATIONS OF TOOTH EXTRACTION
LOCAL COMPLICATIONS
Failure to secure
anaesthesia
Fracturing the tooth
Oro-antral communication
Soft tissue injury
Trismus
Hemorrhage
Dry sockets
Postoperative swelling
6. LOCAL COMPLICATIONS
FAILURE TO SECURE ANAESTHESIA
CAUSES:
Failure of the needle to reach the target area
while injecting.
Insufficient solution.
Intravascular injection.
Administering a local anaesthetic that has
passed its expiry date.
PREVENTION:
Avoid faulty technique
Sufficient dosage of LA must be injected
7. FRACTURING THE TOOTH
Fracturing of tooth includes fracture of
Crown of tooth being extracted.
Root of tooth being extracted.
Maxillary tuberosity.
Alveolar process.
Adjacent tooth.
Mandible.
8. FRACTURE OF THE CROWN OF A TOOTH
CAUSES:
Weakened tooth- caries or large
restoration
Improper application of the forceps
Excessive force
MANEGMENT:
proper application of forceps or elevator
will deliver the tooth or Transalveolar
method
9. FRACTURE OF THE ROOT OF A TOOTH
CAUSES:
Root pattern
Faulty technique
MANEGMENT:
Decide whether to leave or not?
Radiographic examination & transalveolar
extraction.
10. Fracture of Maxillary Tuberosity
Cause:
•Excessive force
Prevention:
•Proper support and controlled force
Management :
•If still attached; dissect and remove the tooth
•If detached; smooth bone edges & suture
11. Fracture of Alveolar Process
Fracture of the Buccal or Lingual Cortex
Cause:
•Inadequate exposure & excessive force
Prevention :
•Adequate bone removal & exposure
12. FRACTURE OF AN ADJACENT OR OPPOSING
TOOTH
Precautions :
Careful pre-op examination (carious, heavily
restored, loose, line of withdrawal)
No force should be applied to any adjacent
tooth
Other teeth should not be used as fulcrum for
an elevator.
Any loose, heavily restored tooth should be
noted & brought to the notice of anesthetist.
13. Fracture of the Mandible
Cause :
•Excessive force
Prevention:
•Proper bone removal & controlled force
14. Oro-antral communication
Causes:
•Large antrum
•Lone-standing tooth in an atrophic maxilla
•Large splayed roots
•Fracture of tuberosity
•History of antral involvement
Prevention :
•Proper preoperative radiographic
evaluation
•Proper bone removal
•Controlled force
15. SOFT TISSUE INJURY
Causes
•careless use of rotatory instruments (like burs while bone
cutting.)
•injudicious used of instruments, improper elevation of
flap or the exercise of excessive force.
Prevention
•Take extreme care during the handling of the rotary or
other hand instruments.
• Properly retract the cheek and lips during dental
procedures.
16. Management
If the tear or abrasion is large, suturing
should be done for closure.
Scars produced due to thermal injuries
can be managed by the application of
petroleum jelly or topical
antiseptic/analgesic
17. TRISMUS
Inability to open mouth due to muscle spasm.
CAUSES:
Caused by post operative edema, hematoma
formation or inflammation of soft tissue.
Trauma to muscles (medial pterygoid,
temporalis, and masseter) during insertion of the
needle.
TREATMENT:
Antibiotics
Heat theraphy
18. HAEMORRHAGE
Bleeding is a common sequel of oral surgery.
There are three types of Post-operative bleeding:-
Primary – Occurs continuously just after the surgery
Reactionary – Haemorrhage restarts after a period of about three
hours.
Secondary – Occurs after few days of the procedure
Prevention
A proper medical history of patient to detect any systemic disorders..
Avoid incision, flap opening or soft tissue trauma.
Management
After extraction of tooth, apply digital pressure continuously for 2-4
minutes
If bleeding continues from the socket, then pack the bony socket with
Gelfoam, fibrin foam, surgical or bone wax
Put a gauze piece at the site of bleeding to stop bleeding and facilitate
clot formation.
19. DRY SOCKET
It is a post extraction condition characterized by intense pain
and dysgeusia loss of taste and halitosis beginning from 3rd
day after extraction.The pain occurs due to exposure of nerve
endings to the oral cavity due to dislodgement of the
clot,leaving the bare bone exposed
CAUSES:
Traumatic extractions
Infections
Vasoconstrictor agents in L.A
MANAGEMENT:
Perform extraction atraumatically
Preoperative oral hygiene measures to reduce plaque
Post-operatively,avoid vigorous mouth rinsing for 24 hours after
extraction
TREATMENT:
Alleviation of pain
Induction of granulation and speedy resolution.
20. POSTOPERATIVE SWELLING
EDEMA :
If the soft tissues are not handled carefully during an extraction
traumatic edema may be formed.
The use of blunt instrument, the excessive retraction of badly
designed flap, or a bur becoming entangled in the soft tissues
predispose to this condition.
If sutures are tied too tightly post operative swelling due to edema or
haematoma formation may cause sloughing of the soft tissues and
breakdown of the suture line.
Usually both conditions regress if the patient uses hot saline mouth
baths frequently for 2-3 days.
INFECTION :
pain and swelling
Mild - hot saline mouth baths
Severe – antibiotic & analgesics
21. SYSTEMIC COMPLICATION
SYNCOPE
DEFINITION:
Sudden transient loss of consiousness due to cerebral ischaemia.
CLINICAL SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS:
EARLY:
Feeling of
warmth.
Loss of color:Pale
/ashen gray skin
tone.
Heavy
prespiration.
Nausea.
Rapid heart rate
LATE:
Hyperapnea.
Yawning.

22. TREATMENT:
Immediately stop treatment.
Loosen tight clothing.
Place the patient in Supine position.
Monitor pulse: If pulse is normal – Sprinkle cold
water ; Carry a gauge dipped in aromatic spirit of
ammonia close top patient’s nostrils.
If Bradycardia: Inject atropine 6mg I.V or Inject
mephentramine 10-30 mg I.M.
If patient still not responding support respiration [
start oxygen ], call physician.
23. CARDIAC ARREST
CAUSES:
Myocardial infarction.
Sudden cardiac arrest.
Airway obstruction.
Drug overdose.
Anaphylaxis.
Seizure disorders.
Acute adrenal insufficiency.
TREATMENT:
Recognition of unconsciousness.
Summon assistance and position the victim.
Assessment of circulation and chest
compression, if needed.
Assessment and maintenance of airway.
Assessment of breathing and ventilation , if
needed.
Rescue breathing.
Defibrillation.
24. ANAPHYLAXIS
Generalized Anaphylaxis:
This is an acutely life threatening allergic
reaction.
Clinical death can occur within a few minutes.
Generalized anaphylaxis can develop after
administration of an antigen by any route but is
more common after parenteral administration.
27. SEIZURES [ EPILEPSY ]
DEFINITION:
A recurrent paroxysmal disorder of cerebral function
marked by sudden , brief attacks of altered
consciousness , motor activity or sensory phenomena.
Convulsive seizures are the most common form of
attack.
CAUSES:
Infection.
Trauma.
Cerebral degenerative disease.
Tumor.
Vascular disease.
28. PREVENTION:
Adequate patient evaluation and preparation , care in
selection of local anaesthetic agents , and use of the
proper administration technique go far in preventing toxic
reaction.
TREATMENT:
Carbemazepine [ tegretol ] 600-1800 mg.
Phenobarbital 60-120 mg.
Valproic acid [Depakene ] 750-3000 mg
29. RESPIRATORY ARREST
Skelton Muscles become flaccid and
pupils dilate
MANAGEMENT:
Lay the patient flat on the floor
Remove any foreign bodies by pulling the
mandible upwards and forwards, to extend
neck fully
Compress pt. nostril with thumb and
finger, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation be
performed to raise the chest every 3-4
sec.
Check carotid pulse.
