1/15. Orthodontic-prosthetic treatment to replace maxillary incisors exfoliated because of improper use of orthodontic elastics: a case report.This article describes the iatrogenic exfoliation of maxillary central incisors following the improper use of orthodontic elastic bands. The unsecured rubber band had migrated apically and caused an almost "bloodless extraction" of both maxillary central incisors. A combined orthodontic-prosthetic solution was used to replace the lost incisors.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/15. Myospherulosis complicating cortical block grafting: a case report.BACKGROUND: Myospherulosis of the oral cavity is an inflammatory, granulomatous lesion historically associated with the use of petrolatum-based antibiotic ointment placed in third molar extraction sites to prevent postoperative infection. methods: A case of bilateral myospherulosis is presented, in which large lesions complicated the procurement of a cortical block graft used to prepare a mandibular molar edentulous space for implant placement. By obtaining the block graft from a more lateral location on the mandible, an adequate graft was procured and was successfully grafted into an atrophic edentulous ridge. RESULTS: The cortical block graft was successfully incorporated by the recipient site, which received a wide-body, threaded dental implant 6 months later. Healing was uncomplicated, and a functional implant-supported restoration was successfully achieved. CONCLUSIONS: Myospherulosis, though rare today, may present a significant obstacle to the procurement of cortical block grafts. In this case, thorough debridement of the material resulted in subsequent healing of the myospherulosis defect, but prevented procurement of the cortical graft from the planned site. The dimension and volume of the neighboring cortical bone were adequate, and the augmented edentulous space was subsequently restored with a functional endosseous implant. The success seen in these 2 sites would seem to confirm the assumption that size and location of myospherulosis defects are critical factors in obtaining a successful clinical result in implant patients.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/15. Extraction of the radial artery during transradial coronary angiography: an unusual complication.The transradial approach is currently an accepted alternative for vascular access during percutaneous coronary interventions. Access-site complications, such as mild hematoma, hematic effusions, and reduced or absent radial pulse, have been reported. We report the occurrence of total extraction of the radial artery during sheath removal. The occurrence of this complication emphasizes the need for meticulous attention and prudence when a patient complains of local pain during sheath extraction.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/15. An "exploding cataract" following Nd:YAG laser iridectomy.A case of an "exploding" cataract (an iatrogenic posterior capsular rupture) following Nd:YAG laser iridectomy is described. Rapid cataract development was observed in the right eye of a 76-year-old woman following an iridectomy. B-scan ultrasonography documented cortical debris in the vitreous cavity. The patient underwent an extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. During the cataract extraction, a posterior capsular tear extending from the 10-o'clock to the 4-o'clock position was noted, through which fluffy cortical material was floating in the vitreous.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/15. An iatrogenic foreign body (dental bur) in the maxillary antrum: a report of two cases.Two cases of foreign bodies of the antrum are reported. One was a turbine bur which presumably entered through an oro-antral fistula after a tooth extraction. The other was also a turbine bur where the mode of entry was not clear (lack of oro-antral fistula), but it presumably entered through the socket of the extracted tooth. The mucosa of the antrum appeared normal in spite of the lengthy presence of the foreign body.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/15. Iatrogenic exfoliation of a tooth following abuse of a rubber dam: a case report.This report presents a case in which tooth exfoliation followed rubber dam abuse. A 40-year-old patient was referred to the prosthodontic clinic with complaints of mobility and discomfort in tooth 44, which had received an amalgam restoration. While this tooth was scaled, a piece of rubber dam appeared in the buccal sulcus. Removal of the rubber piece was followed by thorough scaling and tooth splinting. Tooth deterioration continued, and concern for the adjacent teeth necessitated extraction of tooth 44. To avoid such undesirable consequences, the integrity of the dam should be verified on its removal.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/15. Traumatic pseudolipoma of the oral cavity: report of a case.An uncommon traumatic pseudolipoma of the oral cavity is presented. In this particular case there was evidence of previous trauma to the buccal fat pad during a difficult extraction of a maxillary premolar. Evidence is presented that iatrogenic trauma resulting in foreign body introduction might produce traumatic pseudolipoma in the oral cavity. The morphology of the buccal fat pad, the possible pathogenisis of the condition, as well as the diagnostic and the management of the case are presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/15. Iatrogenic subcutaneous cervicofacial and mediastinal emphysema.subcutaneous emphysema of the head, neck and mediastinum occurs with a variety of disease processes. Most cases involve the passive escape of air from the aerodigestive tract into subcutaneous tissues. The many causes include head and neck surgical procedures, tracheal and esophageal trauma, intraoral trauma, foreign bodies and neoplasms of the aerodigestive tract, and pulmonary barotrauma from mechanical ventilation or in patients with pulmonary disorders. subcutaneous emphysema secondary to active injection of air has recently been reported following certain dental procedures. An interesting case of diffuse cervicofacial and mediastinal emphysema following a difficult extraction of an infected lower molar tooth with a high-pressure air drill is presented. The patient required airway observation and high-dose antibiotic therapy. Early recognition of this unique problem is essential in preventing such life-threatening complications as airway obstruction, mediastinitis, deep neck infection, and cardiac failure. Diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations are included.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/15. Malignant glaucoma induced by an intraocular lens.A case of malignant (ciliary block) glaucoma apparently induced by a large posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL) is presented. The involved eye was small, with an axial length of 21.7 mm and a preoperative refractive error of 8.25 D. An uncomplicated extracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of a PC-IOL with a 7 mm optic was performed. Within 1 week postoperatively, malignant glaucoma developed, for which surgical intervention was required. We recommend avoiding implantation of PC-IOLs with large optics in certain small eyes, since these implants may be more likely than lenses with smaller optics to induce malignant glaucoma in such eyes.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/15. Detached pacing electrode tip as a pulmonary embolus.Forceful extraction of an Elema unipolar endocardial pacing electrode caused accidental detachment of the electrode tip. The tip migrated from the jugular vein into the central venous circulation and after some delay finally passes during the night into a pulmonary artery branch. Transient pleural irritation was the only sequel.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
