Abstract
|
|
|
|
Subcutaneous emphysema occurs when air is forced into the fascial planes of the connective tissue leading to sudden onset of swelling. Although uncommon, a dental treatment using an air-drive handpiece and compressed air syringes has been reported as a causative factor of the subcutaneous emphysema. Due to its low prevalence, dentists often overlook the potential for developing the disease and thereby miss the opportunity for early treatment. This case report presents an occurrence of iatrogenic cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema subsequent to maxillary primary incisor pulpectomy in a patient with brain damage after cardioplegia.
