Rare Systemic Complications Following Minor Dental Surgery

Selcuk Yilmaz

Abstract: Oral microorganisms can enter the general circulation through oral care procedures, all kinds of minor and major oral surgical procedures, injuries and oral soft tissue infections, and they can also enter the general body system by being guided and carried by the local immune system, both in the mouth and in the intestines where they are constantly swallowed. In the literature; It has been reported that bacteremia may develop even during tooth brushing, flossing and use of pressurized irrigation devices. They can cause fatal secondary infections as a result of the spread of bacteria in the bloodstream to various vital tissues of the body. Especially for patients in the risk group, the dentist can prevent the formation of secondary infections by changing bacterial properties by minimizing or preventing prophylactic bacteremia. It is very important for the physician to take preoperative and postoperative precautions in his approach to the patient in order to prevent life-threatening situations. As I mentioned in my thesis, a careful anamnesis, consultations with relevant doctors, adequate informing and monitoring of the patient in the post-operative period, understanding the complaints of patients after surgical voiding, preventing the occurrence of many fatal infections, and making preliminary diagnoses at an early stage and referring them to relevant medical departments are sometimes of vital importance.
