Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryThe high-speed aerotor can cause emphysema if used improperly,
which occurs when air is forced into the soft tissues or blood vessels, causing
them to fill with air. This can be a serious condition and is a contraindication
for its use in the surgical field of an impacted molar.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
The primary function of sutures in oral surgery is to control bleeding and
stabilize the tissues involved. By holding the tissue flaps in place, sutures
protect the underlying structures and promote proper healing.

Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryWinter lines are not directly related to the diagnosis of
impaction. Their presence on teeth indicates periods of tooth development
disturbances, but they do not provide specific information about the presence or
severity of an impacted tooth.

Oral and Maxillofacial SurgerySynthetic monofilament sutures are preferred for their smooth surface, which reduces the risk of infection by preventing bacteria from being trapped in the suture material, thus promoting better healing outcomes.
