Abstract:   Background: Subcutaneous emphysema is a common presentation to the emergency department. The presence of emphysema in the head and neck region due to dental procedure is not common, and the presence of pneumomediastinum is exceedingly rare. Case Report: A young lady, presented to the emergency department with chest pain, found to have pneumomediastinum following a dental procedure including a wisdom tooth extraction. Conclusion: Complications following dental procedures are not uncommon, hence there should be a high index of suspicion for the emergency physicians for such patients, especially those where air turbine dental tools have been used.

Background. Platelet-enriched plasma (PRP) is a revolutionary autologous biomaterial that stimulates bone regeneration, enhances regenerative processes and postoperative wound healing, thus simplifying future implant-prosthetic rehabilitation. Objective of the study. Evaluation of PRP regeneration properties in postextractional wound regeneration. Material and Methods. The clinical examination was used as research methods: inspection, palpation, paraclinical examination: panoramic radiography / CBCT and VAS test were performed. The diagnosis and treatment plan were established, as follows: extraction associated with PRP injection. Results. At the postoperative evaluation of the patient after 7 days of treatment, the intensity of pain according to the modified VAS method showed decreased values- from 4 to 1, the postextractional wound was completely healed, the level of regeneration was attested by the absence of dehiscence, presence of the pale pink epithelium, absence of the postoperative facial edema according to the craniometric points, the Celsius signs also were absent. Conclusion. The use of PRP biomaterial in wisdom tooth extraction is a minimally invasive method of tissue regeneration that reduces the rehabilitation period and prevents the occurrence of post-extraction complications.
