  • Title: Cervicofacial and mediastinal emphysema complicating a dental procedure.
    Author: Mather AJ, Stoykewych AA, Curran JB.
    Journal: J Can Dent Assoc; 2006; 72(6):565-8. PubMed ID: 16884650.
    Abstract:
    Cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema is an infrequently reported sequela of dental surgery. It may be caused by the inadvertent introduction of air into the soft tissues during procedures using high-speed, air-driven handpieces or air-water syringes. In this paper, we present a case in which subcutaneous emphysema developed in a middle-aged woman following routine restorative treatment. We review the features of the condition and its treatment and discuss means of prevention.
