Manejo cirúrgico dos acidentes e complicações associadas às brocas cirúrgicas: revisão de literatura

Abstract

The ideal preoperative planning should include theoretical foundation, radiographic examinations, and a detailed patient history, including their medical records. The objective of this planning is to ensure safety during the procedure, aiming to minimize the margin of error and prevent accidents and complications. Among the various instruments used by dentists in their surgical routines, drills and handpieces are among the most important. The proper use of these instruments enables osteotomy, odontosection in extraction, removal of tori, and buccomaxillofacial surgeries. The correct manipulation and cautious use of these instruments can prevent a series of complications, such as abrasion and perforation of soft tissues, injuries to adjacent teeth, and displacement of teeth or artifacts into anatomically sensitive regions. This article aims to provide a literature review addressing accidents and complications related to the use of surgical drills in extractions, as well as discussing the best practices to handle each situation.
