Abstract(s)
A fratura de uma agulha, durante a administração anestésica, é um
acontecimento raro atualmente devido ao uso de agulhas descartáveis de liga metálica,
que minimiza o risco de fratura. É da responsabilidade do profissional usar as agulhas e
técnicas mais adequadas ao procedimento a ser executado, com os devidos cuidados de
modo a potenciar bons resultados.
Objetivo: Descrever de forma sucinta, as razões pelas quais as fraturas ocorrem, bem
como, quais os procedimentos, mais favoráveis ao dentista e ao utente, para a resolução
dessas fraturas. Apresentar algumas técnicas anestésicas e exemplificar algumas técnicas
de localização de fragmentos.
Materiais e Métodos: Revisão bibliográfica tendo por base as palavras-chave delineadas
e critérios de inclusão e exclusão específicos, com o objetivo de angariar o máximo de
informação acerca deste tema não muito comum e cheio de possíveis complicações na
Medicina Dentária.
Conclusão: Numa situação extrema, quando o fragmento de uma agulha fica envolvido
pelos tecidos moles, o médico dentista dispõe ao seu critério de diversas técnicas para a
remoção/correção do problema. O intuito é minimizar o risco de lesão no paciente,
recorrendo, sempre que possível, às mais avançadas técnicas anestésicas.
Introduction: Needle fractures during local anesthesia is a rare event in modern days due to current use of disposable needles made of modern alloys that significantly reduced the incidence of needle breakage. It is the professional’s responsibility to use the most appropriate needles and techniques related to the treatment, with care, in order to minimize all risks. Objective: To show, briefly, why such breakages happen and how to proceed in order to resolve problems resulting from such events, helping patient and dentist overcome the distressful situation. To remember and talk about some local anesthesia techniques and methods to retrieve needle fragments. Conclusion: On worst case scenarios, when we have a needle fragment surround by soft tissue, there are multiple techniques to search and retrieve for the missing piece, at the discretion of the dentist to use the best searching method to solve the problem. The patient’s risk of injury and after-effects is high and all caution should be used, executing the best techniques studied and approved by many years of correct usage, avoiding needle breakage.
