fa Cervicofacial subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema caused by air cooling spray of dental laser جراحی دهان، فک و صورت Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery پژوهشي Research Cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema is a rare complication of dental procedures with an air turbine or syringe, and dentists and oral surgeons sometimes encounter mediastinal emphysema following the presentation of extensive subcutaneous emphysema. Most emphysema occurs incidentally during tooth extraction, restorative treatment, or endodontic treatment, with only a few cases reported of cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema associated with dental laser treatment. We report a case of cervicofacial subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema caused by the air cooling spray of dental laser during dental treatment in a 76-year-old woman. After she underwent dental laser treatment, cervicofacial swelling was noted and she was referred to our department. Computed tomography showed both cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema and mediastinal emphysema. Antibiotics were administered prophylactically and the emphysema disappeared 5 days after the dental laser treatment, without any complications. <hr><p> <strong>Source: </strong>Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology </p><p> <a href="http://www.oooojournal.net/article/S2212-4403(12)00171-X/abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-1627&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Sachiyo Mitsunaga 10031947532846007562 10031947532846007562 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine, Yokohama, Japan Toshinori Iwai 10031947532846007563 10031947532846007563 Yes Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine, Yokohama, Japan Noriaki Aoki 10031947532846007564 10031947532846007564 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Saiseikai Yokohamashi Nanbu Hospital, Yokohama, Japan Yosuke Yamashita 10031947532846007565 10031947532846007565 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Saiseikai Yokohamashi Nanbu Hospital, Yokohama, Japan SuSumu Omura 10031947532846007566 10031947532846007566 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Yokohama City University Medical Center, Yokohama, Japan Yoshiro Matsui 10031947532846007567 10031947532846007567 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Kagawa University, Kagawa, Japan Jiro Maegawa 10031947532846007568 10031947532846007568 No Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Yokohama City University Hospital, Yokohama, Japan Makoto Hirota 10031947532846007569 10031947532846007569 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine, Yokohama, Japan Kenji Mitsudo 10031947532846007570 10031947532846007570 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine, Yokohama, Japan Iwai Tohnai 10031947532846007571 10031947532846007571 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine, Yokohama, Japan
