Subcutaneous emphysema: how can we prevent and treat it?

Subcutaneous emphysema is described as an uncommon complication resulting from the passage of compressed air to the fascial planes and is associated, in dentistry, with restorative, endodontic treatments, periodontal surgery and extractions, the latter with a higher incidence. Early diagnosis, appro...

Early diagnosis, appropriate approach and ordering of imaging tests prevent secondary complications, such as local infection and progression to deep cervical and thoracic fascial spaces. Thus, the present clinical case reports the transoperative occurrence of subcutaneous emphysema during extraction of the lower third molar, its indicated treatment and how we can avoid this type of complication. El enfisema subcutáneo se describe como una complicación infrecuente resultante del paso de aire comprimido a los planos fasciales y se asocia, en odontología, a tratamientos restauradores, endodónticos, cirugía periodontal y extracciones, esta última con una mayor incidencia. El diagnóstico precoz, el abordaje adecuado y la ordenación de las pruebas de imagen previenen complicaciones secundarias, como la infección local y la progresión a los espacios fasciales cervicales y torácicos profundos. Así, el presente caso clínico relata la ocurrencia transoperatoria de enfisema subcutáneo durante la extracción del tercer molar inferior, su tratamiento indicado y cómo podemos evitar este tipo de complicación Facultad de Odontología 2021-12-12 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/RevFacOdonto/article/view/35948 Revista de la Facultad de Odontología; Vol. 31 Núm. 3 (2021): Rev Fac Odont 31(3)-2021-Diciembre; 24-28 2545-7594 0325-1071 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/RevFacOdonto/article/view/35948/36055 10.25014/ Derechos de autor 2021 Elisa Siqueira Mendes, Pâmella Santana Nunes, Fernanda Britto de Melo Silva, Suelen Cristina Sartoretto Lorenzi, Rodrigo Figueiredo de Brito Resende https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
