Panel presentation and discussion hosted by Urbanomic as a part of The Penzance Convention.
Complications are a regular feature of extraction. While careful, correct technique minimizes these, it is important to be aware of the potential damage types, their avoidance and subsequent treatment. — A. J. Smithson, ‘Oral Surgery Part 4: Extraction Complications’, Companion Animal 12:4 (May 2007):74–81, 74.
