Abstract
Cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum is a relatively rare complication of dental treatment. Dental instruments such as handpieces and air/water syringes, which spray air/water at high pressure, have been reported as the main causes of cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema. We report herein one case of cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum after dental extraction. We describe its etiologies and guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and the prevention of this complication during dental procedures.
