Many cases of soft tissue emphysema have been reported; it is recognized as a common surgical and dental complication. This report adds to the number of recorded cases and emphasizes the potential for emphysema with the use of high pressure dental instruments. It also shows that the point of entry of air may be overlooked and will therefore delay diagnosis. Proper diagnosis and recognition of the potential for widespread secondary infection dictate the management of emphysema. If any doubt should exist, consultation should be obtained without hesitation.
已有许多软组织气肿病例的报道；它被认为是一种常见的外科和牙科并发症。本报告增加了已记录病例的数量，并强调了使用高压牙科器械引发气肿的可能性。报告还表明，空气进入点可能被忽视，从而延误诊断。正确诊断并认识到广泛继发感染的可能性决定了气肿的处理方式。如果存在任何疑问，应毫不犹豫地寻求会诊。
