Abstract

This is a prospective cross-sectional study on the incidence of fibrinolytic alveolitis (FA) and infection (IN) in dental surgeries. This study evaluated 202 surgeries. The patients ranged in age from 12 to 79 years old, with a mean age of 38.8 ± 16.4 years. The incidence for FA was 1% (2 cases), and the incidence for IN was 1% (2 cases). A chi-square test showed no statistically significant differences between all the predictive factors evaluated. The results showed that being a smoker, conducting surgery over the impacted or partially impacted tooth position, and doing osteotomy can be risk factors for developing an infection. A binary logistic regression model showed significant interactions (p=0.006; CI 95%) for the FA development when the variable’s gender (female), alcohol and tobacco consumption, daily medicine consumption, doing a flap, and tooth sectioning are taken together.
