SUMMARY: Subperiosteal abscess is a rare later compli- cation after surgical extraction of impacted third molars, that occurs two weeks to one month postoperatively. The reported frequency of this complication is less than 10% of all types of postoperative complications arising after impacted third molar removal, and it is manifested as a swelling in the post-extraction socket area. The pa- tient’s general health, quality of oral hygiene, third molar’s impaction level, and pre-existing local infection, are some of the major risk factors. This paper aims to present the management of a case of subperiosteal abscess after sur- gical extraction of an impacted third molar. The clinical signs and symptoms, the pathogenic mechanism, and the treatment protocol followed in dealing with this complication are discussed.
KEY WORDS: Subperiosteal abscess, impacted third molar, postoperative complications.
