Overview of Dental Surgery Errors

Dental surgeries, ranging from tooth extractions and implants to root canals and corrective jaw procedures, require precise skill and careful attention. When errors occur during dental treatment, patients can experience pain, infection, disfigurement, and long-term complications.

Turkey’s popularity for affordable dental tourism has grown rapidly, but some patients face complications caused by negligent dental care, unqualified practitioners, or unsanitary conditions.

​

Common dental surgery errors include:

​​​

​

• Nerve Damage: Resulting in numbness, tingling, or permanent loss of sensation, often from improper implant placement or surgical trauma.

• Infections: Caused by poor sterilisation, leading to abscesses, swelling, and severe pain.

• Incorrect Implant Placement: Leading to implant failure, bone loss, or damage to adjacent teeth.

• Excessive Tooth Removal or Damage: Removal of healthy teeth or injury to surrounding tissues due to careless technique.

• Jaw Fractures: Resulting from improper force or lack of surgical expertise during extractions or corrective surgery.

• Failure to Diagnose or Treat Complications: Such as untreated infections or improper healing.

• Poor Cosmetic Results: Uneven gum lines, unnatural tooth appearance, or misaligned bite.

Dental surgery errors can cause not only physical pain but also emotional distress and financial burden due to corrective treatments.
