| Abstract [eng] |
Tooth extraction is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures worldwide and can be one of the simplest procedures as well as one of the most technically challenging. It also profoundly affects oral health status and often requires restorative procedures to replace the missing tooth. Tooth extraction uses a fundamental concept from the basic principles of physics, mechanics, and surgery. Every tooth extraction procedure can be subjected to difficulties, and the different tooth extraction techniques also incorporate individual risks. According to this, a literature search was performed to identify articles published in German and English using the following keywords: “surgical extraction”, “simple extraction”, and “complications”. Excluded were studies with patients with systemic diseases or a correlation with medication intake for the complications. Tooth extraction complications can occur intraoperatively or develop during the postoperative period. The survey showed intraoperative problems may include tuberosity fracture, nerve damage, or displacement of teeth into adjacent spaces. Postoperative problems include swelling, pain, trismus, prolonged bleeding, dry socket, infection, and sensory alterations of different nerves. The thesis emphasizes the risks of varying tooth extraction techniques for the prevalence of complications. Results of the study showed that surgical extraction with root separations had the most difficulties. Finally, the current strategies to reduce the incidence of tooth extraction complications are also presented. |
