Incidencia de complicaciones durante la práctica de exodoncia en la clínica de odontología UCSG B-2025.

Abstract

Introduction: Outpatient tooth extraction is common and can generate transient systemic responses and local complications; therefore, it is relevant to quantify its incidence and the associated clinical and metabolic changes. Methodology: An analytical observational study was conducted in the surgical area of the UCSG dental clinic. One hundred and five patients who underwent tooth extraction were included. Blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, capillary blood glucose, and mouth opening were recorded before and after the procedure. Complications were assessed at 48 hours. Results: The mean age was 45.1 years, and females predominated XIII (62.9%). Advanced caries was the main indication (51.4%). At 48 hours, alveolitis had an incidence of 7.6%, fever >37.5°C, and moderate to severe pain (VAS >4) occurred in 43.8%. There were significant changes in the parameters before and after the evaluation. Conclusion: Early complications were concentrated in pain and alveolitis. The procedure was modified to address immediate physiological variations; stratification by complexity and systematic monitoring can improve safety and follow-up.
