Management Reposition the flap & suture If the tear is jagged, trim it before suturing
Cause Bur shank or retractor injury Prevention Care Management Keep it moist ( ointment ) Heals within 5 10 days
1. Root Fracture
Cause Long, curved, divergent roots Excessive force during extraction Prevention Proper exposure & bone removal
2. Root Displacement
Into: Mandibular Canal Lingual Pouch Infratemporal Space Maxillary Sinus
Cause Inadequate exposure & excessive force Prevention Adequate bone removal & eposure
Prevention Proper support and controlled force Management If still attached; dissect and remove the tooth If detached; smooth bone edges &

Cause -Excessive extraction force in case of curved roots -Sectioning the tooth all the way inferiorly Prevention -Proper exposure & bone removal -Controlled force -Careful setioning, leaving a shell of
Cause -Placement of the retromolar incision far lingually -Sectioning the tooth all the way to the lingual cortex Prevention -Proper incision -Careful sectioning, leaving a shell of the tooth
Cause During extraction of an impacted maxillary canine -Excessive bone removal -Failure to locate the tooth Prevention -Proper preoperative radiographic evaluation -Proper bone removal -Controlled force
Prevention -Good history taking (coagulopathy, medications etc) -Atrumatic surgical extraction (clean incisions, gentle management of soft tissues, smoothen bony specules, curette granulation tissue) -Obtain good homeostasis at surgery
1. Infection
Cause Debris left under the flap Prevention Irrigation Management Debridement & Drainage
Cause -Lysis of a fully formed blood clot before the clot is replaced with granulation tissue. -Higher incidence with smokers & patients taking oral contaceptives. Prevention -Presurgical irrigation with antimicrobial agents ,e.g:
Management
Irrigate with warm saline Remove old clots Place sedative dressing Prescribe mild analgesics Reassess after 24 to 48 hours
