Haemorrhage and Pseudoaneurysm Following Extraction of the Third Molar
摘要
Third molar extraction is one of the most common dentoalveolar surgical operations in adult population. Kunkel et al. (2007) reported postoperative haemorrhage in 1 out of 100 cases requiring hospitalization due to severe third molar complications. A large retrospective analysis of complications associated with third molar surgeries reported prolonged haemorrhage in 0.16% to 5.8% of patients (Chiapasco et al. 1993; Muhonen et al. 1997; Moghadam and Caminiti 2002; Bui et al. 2003; Benazzou et al. 2009). Unexpected haemorrhage is more often recognized as an intraoperative complication (0.80%) rather than a postoperative complication (0.15%) (Chuang et al. 2007).
