Abstract

Subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema is a rare complication of dental extraction and the use of air turbines has often been implicated. We describe a case which highlights a serious complication of the use of an air rotor for the removal of a right second mandibular molar. © British Dental Journal 2000.
