Resumen
Exodontia procedures are not without complications, which are the dentist’s responsibility to avoid by
taking into account clinical, imaging, systemic, and operative factors, among others. The purpose of this
systematic review is to determine and analyze the prevalence of complications post simple exodontia
(CPES). The method used in this systematic review was adapted from the Cochrane Handbook and PRISMA
statement. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus and ScienceDirect using the search
terms “Exodontia” AND “Complications”. The search was conducted from the starting coverage date to
January 31, 2020. The inclusion criteria were studies on simple exodontia, studies on CPES prevalence and
human studies. Studies on complications after third molar exodontia, generalities in exodontia, narratives
and systematics literature reviews, book chapters, and animal studies were excluded. A total of 1,446
articles were found in the first search using the search strategy (725 in PubMed, 96 in Scopus and 631
in ScienceDirect). After duplicates were removed, 948 articles were obtained. After reading the title and
abstract, 9 articles were read in full. Finally, 3 articles were included in the review, with the most common
complications being trismus, alveolitis, pain, dehiscence, infections, and retained roots. Trismus of the
chewing muscles, alveolitis and retained roots were the most prevalent CPES, which were most likely
related to the surgeon’s experience, surgery duration and tissue trauma during surgery.
