Análise do perfil clínico-epidemiológico das exodontias realizadas em uma clínica odontológica universitária

Abstract

Extraction is an essential procedure in dentistry, used to remove compromised teeth and maintain oral health. The aim of this retrospective study, which used descriptive statistics, was to investigate the demographic, clinical and epidemiological profile of extractions carried out at Cesumar University in Londrina-Pr between 2022 and 2024, as well as to assess possible post-operative complications and their relationship with various factors. A total of 253 patient records were examined, totaling 336 surgeries considering, data such as age, gender, systemic conditions, habits and post-operative complications. The main indication was carious lesions (36.24%) and the closed technique was used in 90.18% of cases. There was a significant association between smoking and post-operative complications, while the use of antibiotics and systemic diseases had no relevant impact on the prevention of these complications. The study concluded that smoking is a significant risk factor, highlighting the importance of preventive strategies.
