Abstract
|
|
|
|
Few dental procedures are potentially life-threatening. Note, however, that a dental extraction can result in preventable death. Severe post-extraction bleeding can occur, which may give rise to an alarming situation if there is any delay in detecting and managing the problem. The most immediate danger for a healthy patient with severe post-extraction hemorrhage is airway compromise. Acute airway obstruction from post-extraction hematoma is relatively uncommon, but it may occur with fatal consequences if there is any reluctance to maintain the airway clearance. Therefore, dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons should have clear understanding of the problem and measures to control it. Active bleeding that is not controlled by local measures in a dental office should be referred to the nearest hospital emergency department as soon as possible for appropriate management.
