The bur broken into soft palate during tooth extraction: a case report and literature review

doi:10.19438/j.cjoms.2024.02.016

Abstract

Abstract: When high-speed dental handpiece combined with surgical cutting bur are used to remove impacted teeth, instrument separation is rare, and bur breaking into the soft palate is even rarer. This paper reported a rare case in which the bur broke into the soft palate during tooth extraction and was successfully removed under local anesthesia with the help of imaging and 3D visualization techniques. Combined with literature review, this paper discussed the causes of this complication and corresponding treatment methods, and explored how to reduce the occurrence of this complication.

Key words: Impacted mandibular third molar, High-speed dental handpiece, Bur, Complications, Three-dimensional visualization
