Resumen

POBLETE, Francisca et al. Incidence of post-surgical complications in oral surgery. Int. j interdiscip. dent. [online]. 2020, vol.13, n.1, pp.13-16. ISSN 2452-5596.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S2452-55882020000100013.

Objective:

The main objective of this investigation was to determine the incidence of postoperative complications in oral surgery.

Materials and methods:

An observational and descriptive study was developed with the use of the prospective registry of the patients admitted for oral surgery in the San Borja Arriarán Hospital Complex for a twelve-month period of observation (April 2017 to March 2018).

Results:

The sample consisted of 532 patients undergoing surgical procedures of oral surgery and 29 cases of postoperative complications. The incidence of complications reached 5,5% and it was observed predominantly in interventions of tooth extraction. The most commonly observed complication was dry socket, reaching 2,5% of third molar surgeries and 3,7% of extractions of other teeth. Postoperative hemorrhages were observed in 1,1% of third molar surgeries. Other postoperative complications were facial spaces abscesses, paresthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve, bruising, ecchymosis and periostitis.

Conclusions:

The results were similar to those reported in the literature both in their frequency and in the type of complication.
