Possible Complications of Dental Procedures
() LOCAL ANESTHESIA:
They explainedthatlocalanesthesiaisadministeredviainjection, substances that cause reversible blockade of pain sensation,to make the treatment without pain. The local anesthesia may cause, among other things, ulceration of the mucosa at the injection site, pain, limitation of the mouth opening movement, decreased in blood pressure, syncope, urticaria, asthma,angioneuroticedema, and in rare cases ventricular fibrillation, or death, which may require urgent treatment.
() CONSERVATIVE DENTISTRY:
The main purpose of these treatments is to remove the affected hard tissues, pulp protection, and restoration, to preserve the tooth and its function, restoring at the same time, whenever possible, the appropriate aesthetics.
They explainedthat it is possible the appearance of a greater sensitivity, which usually disappear spontaneously, and that, especially in deep caries, can produce effects on the dental pulp that will require endodontic treatment, so the tooth will be fragile and may be necessary to carry out other reconstruction or placement of a prosthetic crown.
I also understand that I may not be satisfied, aesthetically, with the shape and color of the tooth after the treatment, because the qualities of direct restorations will never be identical to their healthy appearance.
() ENDODONTICS
The main purpose of the intervention is the elimination of pulp tissue when it becomes inflamed or infected, or with a granulomatous or cystic process, filling the pulp chamber and root ducts, preserving the tooth.
I have been advised that, even thetechniqueispracticedcorrectly, it is possible that the infection or cystic or granulation process, cannot becompletely eliminated, so you may need retreatment or periapical surgery after a few weeks, months or even years.
They also told me that it is possible the occurrence of postoperative sensitivity, change the color of the crown, the weakening and fracture of the tooth and the breaking of any instrument that might require other treatments.
() PROSTHESIS
The main purpose is the total or partial replacement of missing teeth, or the anatomical reconstruction of teeth that have lost structure.
The operation consists in the preparation of the mouth by carving the adjacent teeth, or the proper management of soft tissue, and in making the impression to prepare the models.
They have been told that the removable prosthesis can cause nausea, ulcers, aches, mobility in case of low bone support, which requires a process of adaptation that may require alterations and can be a long time, somustgoperiodicallytovisitthedentist.
