Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of intraoperative accidents associated with extraction of third
molars and identify possible risk factors. Methods: Prospective study with patients undergoing
third molar surgery by residents of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service at the Federal
University of Parana. Epidemiological data were collected from preoperative evaluation forms.
During the surgical procedure were evaluated the radiographic position classifications of all third
molars removed, using methods such as osteotomy and/or tooth section, time for the procedure
and occurrence of any complication. Results: The students extracted a total of 323 teeth. The
mean surgical time was 45 min. Conclusions: The prevalence of intraoperative accidents
during extraction of third molars was 6.19%. The most prevalent accident was maxillary tuberosity
fracture, followed by hemorrhage. Age, positioning of the teeth and use of the techniques of
osteotomy and tooth section are possible risk factors.
