Abstract:
Emphysema of the subcutaneous tissue is an uncommon complication of dental procedures. Certain dental surgical procedures, such as extraction of teeth using air-driven handpieces and endodontic procedures are more prone to cause subcutaneous emphysema. Subcutaneous emphysema is typically self-limiting and only in a few instances has an impact on the long-term health of the patient. Patients with subcutaneous emphysema experience pain, distress and inconvenience. This paper presents a case of subcutaneous emphysema of the right canine and periorbital space following endodontic treatment of the upper right front tooth.
