Dental polishing discs can cause soft tissue trauma during routine procedures. Proper instrument maintenance and long-term use are crucial to prevent such dental treatment hazards.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Dental Materials Science

Background:

  • Routine dental procedures carry inherent risks.
  • Dental instruments require careful handling and maintenance.

Observation:

  • Two cases of buccal soft tissue trauma are presented.
  • Trauma resulted from displaced polishing discs during dental treatment.

Findings:

  • Displaced polishing discs pose a significant risk of iatrogenic injury.
  • The incidents highlight potential hazards associated with dental instrument use.

Implications:

  • Recommendations for long-term use and maintenance of dental instruments are proposed.
  • Preventive strategies are needed to mitigate risks associated with dental polishing discs.
