          Abstract

          Extraction of teeth is the most common minor surgical procedure performed. Complication of extraction ranges from periodontal injury to fracture of jaw in the mandible and fracture of tuberosity and oroantral communication in the maxilla. Subconjunctival hemorrhage after extraction of maxillary molar is a very rare complication, and so far, only one case is reported in the literature. We report a case of subconjunctival hemorrhage with maxillary tuberosity fracture after maxillary third molar extraction.

            An extraction complicated by lateral and medial pterygoid tethering of a fractured maxillary tuberosity.

            N. Sarita Shah, J Bridgman (2005)
            We report a case in which the extraction of an upper second molar was complicated by a maxillary tuberosity fracture. Delivery of the tooth and bone fragment under local anaesthesia was unable to be achieved because of pain, brisk bleeding and tethering by the lateral and medial pterygoid muscles. The eventual removal of the fragment under general anaesthetic required the control of haemorrhage deep within the infratemporal fossa. When this complication is recognised by the general dentist the maxillary tuberosity should not be removed and the patient referred to a specialist unit.
