Complication of

Tooth extraction
1. Failure of local anesthesia
2. Failure to remove the tooth with either
forceps or elevator
3. Fracture of crowns and roots of teeth
– Factors related to the tooth itself
– Factors related to the bone investing that
tooth
– Factors related to the operator
4. Fracture of the alveolar bone
5. Fracture of maxillary tuberosity
6. Fracture of the mandible

7. Fracture of the adjacent and

opposing teeth
8. Dislocation of TMJ
9. Displacement of the root into the soft
tissue or into tissue spaces or into the
maxillary sinus
10. Damaged to the adjacent soft tissues
and nerves
11. The creation of oral-antral
communication:
Dry socket (Alveolar osteitis)
 2. Post-operative bleeding:
• The local factors
– gross tissue damage,
– sever bone injury and tearing of the periosteum,
– sever gingival laceration,
– damage to large blood vessels
• For the systemic factors
– systemic hematological disorders
– anticoagulant drugs,
– hereditary blood disorders like hemophilia) all these
factors may lead to sever bleeding
3. Post-operative swelling:
