Major complications in outpatient oral surgeries are relatively rare. This article presents 4 cases of molar extraction with unusual complications and describes how the clinician in each case altered the treatment, resulting in a successful conclusion. The first case describes a fracture during the removal of a maxillary first molar. The second case describes a fracture after a mandibular third molar extraction. The third case describes a maxillary third molar displaced into the infratemporal space. The final case describes necrosis of the maxillary soft tissue after fracture of the tuberosity during a third molar extraction.
