Fourteen patients with subcutaneous emphysema treated in our department during 17 years were clinically studied. All but one were referred to us by other dentists because of complications. They con sistedof five male and nine female patients. Their ages ranged from 16 to 67 years and 62% of them were in their thirties. The emphysema resulted during sectioning of the mandibular third molar by using an air-turbine handpiece in four patients and from extraction of other teeth in four patients. The use of compressed air during dental procedures was the cause in four patients and the complication was associated with endodontic treatment and implanta tionof a dental implant in the other two patients. A diffuse swelling involving the eyelid, cheek, mandibu larregion and neck accompanied by crepitation on palpation of the swollen area was noted in all patients.Difficulty in opening the eyelid, headache, nausea and mediastinal emphysema were found in four, one, one and one patients, respectively. Antibiotics were given to all patients to prevent infection. Except four one patient with prolonged swelling due to pericoronitis and another patient without adequate information, the swelling with subcutaneous crepitus tended to subside within a week and secondary complications were encountered in no patients.

We studied soft tissue injuries of the oral cavity caused by a toothbrush in 59 children younger than 7 years from 1983 through 2003. There were 35 boys and 24 girls aged 9 months to 6 years 7 months, with a peak incidence at 1 year. Falling down was the cause of injuries in 46 children. Forty-one children visited us directly, whereas others were referred to us by surgeons, emergency specialists, dentists, otolaryngologists, and others. Thirty-one children presented within 3 hours after injury and 15 the following day. The soft palate and palatoglossal arch, buccal mucosa, hard palate, oral floor, retromolar region, upper lip, gingiva, and tongue were involved in 25, 20, 6, 3, 2, 1, 1 and 1 child, respectively. Lacerations greater and less than 10 mm long were seen in 20 and 16 hildren, respectively. Submucous bleeding was present in 13 children, and scratches were present in 10 children. In 3 children, the wound was associated with herniation of the buccal fat pad. The wound was sutured and antibiotics were given to 23 children. Twenty children were observed without antibiotic treatment, and 16 children were given antibiotics. Local infection occurred in 3 children.
