Do children get dry socket? ‐ The incidence and pattern of presentation of alveolar osteitis in children and adolescents following dental extractions
ConclusionsDespite the belief that AO rarely manifests in children, the incidence of paediatric AO in this study is in line with that of AO found in the adult literature. The literature is inconsistent and conflicting regarding current understanding of AO. As far as possible, an atraumatic approach to exodontia should be adopted. We have proposed four underlying concepts which may benefit from future research given the paucity of research exclusively into dry socket in children and adolescents. (Source: Oral Surgery)

AbstractCosmetic split tongue procedure has become more common among the extreme body modification enthusiasts. Recent media statements addressing the adverse complications of such procedures have generated public interest. A 29-year-old patient presented with pre-syncope symptoms with worsening chest pain 3 days after undergoing a surgical tongue split procedure.

Chemical neurotoxicity to the inferior alveolar nerve —A rare sequela of endodontic treatment
ConclusionThis case highlights the diligence that is required when performing root canal treatment in high-risk mandibular molar teeth, particularly in relation to confining materials within the canal space, accurate canal measurements and comprehensive radiographic evaluation both pre- and post-operatively. Urgent specialist referral for the elimination of foreign material is essential to maximise the potential for nerve regeneration. (Source: Oral Surgery)
