Bizarre Mishap: A Case of Subcutaneous emphysema
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 10
Abstract
Subcutaneous emphysema is a condition in which air or other gases penetrate the skin and submucosa inflicting soft-tissue distention. Iatrogenic prevalence of emphysema during endodontic procedures can be attributed to the usage of compressed air round patent root canals, complicated by way of tissue destruction due to movement of intracanalirrigants into the periapical tissues and by secondary infection. Adherence to strict root canal procedural protocols can thwart the rare though not uncommon incidences of sub cutaneous emphysema. This case report describes the development of tissue-space emphysema in a patient following root canal treatment of maxillary premolar.
