Résumé:
The occurrence of complications in oral surgery is a relatively frequent finding, being the
alveolitis or alveolar osteitis, root fracture, hemorrhage, infection and buccalsinus
communication, the most frequent findings. Their management is fundamental in order to
eliminate or reduce the potential risks and provide wellbeing
to the patient in the trans and
postoperative
period. This work aimed to analyze the dental surgeon (DS), general
practitioner‘s conduct, when facing the most common complications during the realization of
exodontia in the daily clinical practice. A specific questionnaire was prepared containing
thirteen questions approaching demographic and specific data. The questionnaire was applied
to 40 (forty) DS acting in the state of Paraíba, Brazil, and the data was submitted in the light of
the descriptive statistics. The results showed that the level of knowledge of the assessed
professionals about the conduct when facing cases of buccalsinus
communication, root
fracture, alveolitis, hemorrhage, mandibular fracture and aspiration of dental instruments and/or
dental fragments was satisfactory. The establishment and execution of the ideal therapeutic
conduct when dealing with oral surgery complications, mainly during or after the exodontia,
must be fundamental to minimize the aggravation of the condition. However, it is imperative
that the professional is able to establish therapeutic measures or to adequately refer the patient
during the occurrence of surgical complications.
