Abstract
Extraction of an impacted third molar is one of the most frequently performed techniques in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Surgeons can suffer numerous external injuries while extracting a tooth, with percutaneous injuries to the hand being the most commonly reported. In this article, we present a case involving a percutaneous injury of the surgeon’s femoral region caused by breakage of the fissurebur connected to the handpiece during extrtion of the third molar. We also propose precautions to prevent such injuries and steps to be undertaken when they occur.
