| Sumario: | 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, 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. |
