repair are examined, highlighting the importance of the blood clot and its adverse effects, from its malformation to its loss. The study covers risk factors, diagnosis, symptoms and prevention of these complications, emphasizing that infections can manifest up to 30 days after surgery. Although uncommon, these infections are seen as the main reason for delayed healing after surgery. The classification of third molar removal surgery as contamination is debated in relation to the incidence of infections, highlighting the importance of care and operative technique compared to the prophylactic administration of antibiotics. Specific guidelines are demonstrated for patients with compromised immune systems. The content develops prevention strategies, including decontamination, use of sterile materials, drug therapy, cleaning and debridement of surgical wounds in order to treat and prevent such infections. It stresses that the use of antibiotics is not justified by the absence of biosafety precautions and emphasizes the essentiality of maintaining the aseptic chain for successful treatment. This research aims to contribute to a more in-depth understanding of post-operative complications in third molar extractions, providing a preventative and effective approach to dental surgery.
