Factores asociados a complicaciones durante la extracción de terceros molares en la Clínica UCSG.

Abstract

Introduction: The extraction of third molars is a surgical procedure that is considered the most complex among other exodontics, these can present complications which are accompanied by very painful symptoms that can create a significant impact on the quality of life of our patients. Objective: The knowledge of the factors that predispose to possible complications during third molar surgery for the prevention and surgical planning of patients treated in the UCSG clinic. Method: This study was carried out by obtaining data on surgeries at the UCSG Clinic where patients were registered. The results were analyzed and the percentages -were compared to determine which factors are associated with the complications during the surgeries. Results: 114 extractions were observed, female sex, Horizontal angulation of Winter, Pell and Gregory class III position A and patients older than 20 years obtained a higher percentage of complications and the groups of students observed in the study obtained a similar percentage of complications. Discussion: In this study we show that the most prolonged surgeries depended on several factors that made extraction difficult, Joaquín Alvira-González et al. Indicates that they significantly associated the complexity of the extraction with the operative time. Conclusions: Among the factors associated with third molar complications are: surgical time, winter angulation and Pell & Gregory classification, anesthesia technique, operator experience, sex and age.
