Abstract

Introduction. The aim of the study. The purpose of the study was to analyze post-extraction complications and their causes. Research materials and methods: The study was conducted on the basis of the surgical department of the UC “Poltava Regional Center of Stomatology – Dental Clinical Polyclinic” of the Poltava Regional Council. An analysis of outpatient cards of patients for the year 2023 was carried out. The results. During the analysis of outpatient cards, it was established that 20540 patients, aged from 18 to 82 years, applied for tooth extraction. The vast majority of teeth were removed due to complications of carious origin (74.5%), localized periodontal disease (19.8%), orthodontic indications (4.2%), other (1.5%). The presence of acute purulent alveolitis (227 patients, 1,1 %) was most often noted, the treatment of which was carried out on an outpatient basis and lasted an average of 3.8±1.4 days. It should be noted that not all complications required only outpatient treatment. In 2023, 23 patients who underwent tooth extraction were hospitalized in the department of maxillofacial surgery of UC “Poltava Regional Clinical Hospital named after M.V. Sklifosovsky” of the Poltava Regional Council. Conclusion. The use of atraumatic tooth extraction techniques reduces the risk of developing complications, especially of an inflammatory nature. Patients who seek dental care on time have a lower percentage of complications, and the use of self-medication by patients contributes to the development of complications, both early and late, which in turn has a negative effect on the further dental rehabilitation of such patients.
