Re: Paging Dr. King

What if it was a hematoma associated with the mental neurovascular bundle?
However, that shout of pain really reminds me of what I have read and seen
in lit review and in the undergrad clinic.

but for this case, the tooth was mandibular, correct?

That is what the patient reported. The only thing I can say (until the
OP responds) is that my memory of the case reports of NaHClO3 extrusion
were so awful--progressing to noma if memory serves--that the patient's
complaint of having to take last Thurs. and Fri. off would have been
followed by an even more serious story line.

Your thinking what I am. That stuff should be considered a WMD when it
escapes from where it belongs. The instantaneous pain and swelling are
tell-tale.

Dave


So you agree it's probably bleeding from the pterygoid venous plexus?

Steve


Nah, the bleach. Too rapid for the venous plexus.


Really? I saw the side of someone's face blow up like a balloon once
after a maxillary infiltration--very striking, and certainly no bleach
involved.
