1/19. subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum after dental extraction.Pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax, and subcutaneous emphysema can occur occasionally after a surgical procedure. Facial swelling is a common complication of dental management. The occurrence of subcutaneous emphysema, pneumothorax, and pneumomediastinum after dental procedures is rare. We present a case with subcutaneous emphysema of the upper chest, neck, chin, and pneumomediastinum after a tooth extraction and discuss the possible mechanism of subcutaneous emphysema. To prevent these complications during dental procedures, dental hand pieces that have air coolant and turbines that exhaust air in the surgical field should not be used.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/19. Surgical emphysema and pneumomediastinum complicating dental extraction.Subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema is a rare complication of dental extraction and the use of air turbines has often been implicated. We describe a case which highlights a serious complication of the use of an air rotor for the removal of a right second mandibular molar.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/19. Computed tomography of emphysema following tooth extraction.Subcutaneous and tissue space emphysema following surgical extraction of mandibular third molars is a rare and serious complication of dental surgery. Recognition of mediastinal emphysema following surgical extraction is difficult because there are no absolute clinical symptoms and signs. We present two cases of emphysema following extraction of a lower third molar and discuss the contribution of CT to the early recognition of the presence and spatial migration of air and to clinical management.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/19. subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum secondary to dental extraction: a case report and literature review.Here, we present the case of a woman who suffered from acute dyspnea and right cheek and neck swelling during molar extraction. The use of a high-speed dental drill may introduce air into the soft tissue and lead to subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum. After a review of the literature, we found that subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum are rare complications secondary to dental extraction. We report this case because physicians in the emergency department may misdiagnose the symptoms as an allergic reaction. dentists should be more aware of air leak during dental extraction.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/19. 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 = 0.2keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/19. Cervicofacial subcutaneous air emphysema after dental extraction.A patient was seen by a general practitioner for surgical removal of his third molar. A standard high-speed handpiece was used to remove the tooth. During the procedure, subcutaneous emphysema developed. Later the same day, the patient's swelling increased and his airway was compromised. The patient's condition, the differential diagnosis, etiological factors, and treatment of this condition are all detailed within this clinical report.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/19. Orbital emphysema causing vision loss after a dental extraction.The use of high-speed air-cooled rotary cutting instruments is common in dental practices. When used near open wounds, the forced air can lead to subcutaneous emphysema and involvement of vital structures. This case highlights the unfortunate episode of orbital emphysema with optic nerve damage after a pneumatically cooled drill was used in the removal of a mandibular second molar.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/19. Pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous cervical emphysema during third molar extraction under general anesthesia.A case of pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous cervical emphysema during the extraction of third molars under general anesthesia has been presented. The most likely cause was pulmonary barotrauma secondary to a faulty expiratory valve. This emphasizes the need for the proper preoperative check of all anesthetic equipment. Although pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous cervical emphysema are usually self-limiting conditions with rapid recovery, the patient must undergo close observation for the possible development of serious complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/19. Extensive subcutaneous emphysema crossing the midline after a surgical extraction: report of case.A case of extensive subcutaneous emphysema is reported. The patient had a mandibular third molar extracted but did not experience any cervical edema until the morning after surgery. The emphysema did not appear to be caused by the surgical procedure, as emphysema caused by use of instruments becomes immediately apparent and no patient-related causes could be documented. However, a dressing of a tetracycline-steroid ointment in a petrolatum base and a hemostatic agent was placed in the tooth socket during surgery and the dressing may have allowed air into the deeper tissues. The patient was managed by hospitalization, antibiotic therapy, and rest. The tissue emphysema resolved gradually during a 5-day period.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/19. Pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema following surgical extraction of mandibular third molars: three case reports.Three cases of subcutaneous emphysema following surgical extraction of lower third molars are presented. In two of the cases, pneumomediastinum developed. The direct cause of these complications is the combination of the use of an air turbine dental handpiece and the flap design. The propagation of the emphysema and means for its prevention are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
