Abstract:
In the present case, granuloma formation and loss of tooth vitality following the use of bone wax in third
molar surgery in a 16-year-old male patient were reported. Endodontic and surgical treatments were carried out on the
patient. As foreign body granulomatous reaction to bone wax is not uncommon in the literature review, alternative
haemostatic agents should be taken into consideration to avoid any potential complications and untoward effects of
using bone wax for haemorrhage control in surgical procedures.
