Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2005, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The dental retention, mainly of the third molar ones, is presented as a problem of relevant frequency that reaches individuals of all the social classes. In statistical terms, the highest volume of these inclusions is for account of the third molar ones, being the inferiors in higher incidence than the superiors. Accidents and/or complications are inherent to any buccal surgical act. In view of this importance, the objective of this work was to analyze the accidents and complications in surgeries of restrained inferior third molars through questionnaire directed to the specialists in Surgery and Bucomaxilofacial Traumatology. In this study 28 dental surgeons, whose average time of specialist in Surgery and Bucomaxilofacial Traumatology was of 15,1 years, with shunting line standard of 11,8 years have been enclosed. The medium time was of 14,5 years, the shortest time of observed specialist was of 1 year and the longest was of 47 years.Considering that the time as specialist presented great dispersion among the searched ones, the results gotten in the study in relation to the several questions of the questionnaire have been analyzed for the number of cases per year. The gotten results have been 61% of injuries of the inferior alveolar nerve, 54% of transoperation hemorrhage and 50% of injuries of the lingual nerve. It is concluded with the present study that the number of accidents and complications is low and getting even lower when the time of the dental surgeon in the specialty grows.
