(how, management)
Extraction Peri-operative complication information on: broken instrument
- Tips of elevators/luxators/burs
- Radiograph and retrieve/refer if cant
- Contact defence union
Post extraction instructions
- no smoking for 24hrs
- explain LA wearing off etc (3-4hrs)
- swelling normal, worst 2-3 days after
- sudden pain increase after few days = infection so contact us
- bruising normal - lasts two weeks
- mouth opening can be restricted for about a week
- if stitches, should fall out and disappear after 7-10 days (unless told otherwise)
Extraction Immediate / short - Post-operative complications
soft tissue (4)
1. pain / swelling / bruising (Ecchymosis)
2. trismus
3. nerve damage
4. haemorrhaging

Extraction long term post-operative complications
- OAF (chronic)
