Re: Extraction and Filling


Excellent point DK!  Glad you chimed in.

Besides infection, I once created an air embolis working on a lower
second molar where there wasn't much attached gingiva on the lingual,
and this was without any recent extractions. I wouldn't want to be using a high speed until things had healed somewhat.

Not to mention using an air-driven high-speed handpiece adjacent to an
open wound which will not be water tight regardless of suturing. It
isnt the cleanest of surgical environments to begin with. I have dealt
with enough post-op infections that arose a few days after cleanings
that were preceeded by wizzie removal by only a few weeks. I would
recommend waiting until the mucosa is healed alot better, say 4-6
weeks.
