Teeth

Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Summary

This systematic review found that trismus, alveolitis, and retained roots are the most common complications after simple exodontia (tooth extraction). Surgeon experience and surgical trauma influence these outcomes.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Dental Public Health

Background:

Exodontia (tooth extraction) procedures carry inherent risks of complications.
Dentists must consider various factors to prevent post-operative issues.
Understanding the prevalence of complications after simple exodontia is crucial for patient care.

Approach:

A systematic review was conducted following Cochrane Handbook and PRISMA guidelines.
Searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect up to January 31, 2020.
Inclusion criteria focused on simple exodontia, prevalence of complications, and human studies, excluding third molar and review articles.

Key Points:

A total of 1,446 articles were initially identified; 3 studies met the inclusion criteria.
Common complications identified include trismus, alveolitis, pain, dehiscence, infections, and retained roots.
Trismus, alveolitis, and retained roots were the most prevalent complications post simple exodontia.

Conclusions:

The prevalence of complications after simple exodontia is influenced by surgeon experience, surgery duration, and tissue trauma.
Minimizing surgical trauma and optimizing surgical technique can help reduce post-exodontia complications.
Further research may focus on specific preventative strategies for common complications.
