There are a number of potential causes of dental infection. Sometimes an impacted wisdom tooth can compromise the back root of the second molar. This would typically only be diagnosed after the wisdom tooth was extracted. The infected molar may not be related to the extraction. It may have had asymptomatic decay or periodontal disease before the impacted wisdom tooth was diagnosed and extracted. Usually, it is better to extract wisdom teeth prior to restoring or treating adjacent teeth because of the possiblility of damage or injury to the adjacent teeth during the extraction. While most dentists are very conscienteous and want to avoid complications in their procedures, complications do sometimes arise in spite of the dentist's best efforts. It is best to allow your dentist to manage these complications or refer you to a qualified specialist for treatment.

What is the most common type of cataract surgery?
The most common type of cataract surgery is phacoemulsification. This modern procedure involves the use of an ultrasonic device to emulsify and remove the cloudy lens inside the eye, which is the cataract. Here's a step-by-step overview of the procedure: *Anesthesia*: Typically, local anesthesia is used to numb the eye, ensuring the patient feels no pain during the surgery. Sedatives may also be administered to help the patient relax. *Corneal Incision*: The surgeon makes a small incision in the cornea, the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. *Capsulorhexis*: A small, circular opening is made in the capsule (the membrane that encloses the lens) to access the cataract. *Phacoemulsification*: An ultrasonic probe is inserted through the corneal incision into the capsule. This probe vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency to break up the cloudy lens into small pieces. *Aspiration*: The emulsified pieces of the lens are then gently suctioned out of the eye. *Lens Implantation*: After the natural lens has been removed, it is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). The IOL is folded and inserted through the original incision, then it unfolds once in place. *Closure*: Typically, the incisions are small enough to heal without sutures, sealing themselves naturally. This procedure typically takes about 30 minutes and is generally safe and effective, offering rapid recovery of vision for most patients. Alternative techniques, such as extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) or intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE), are less commonly used today due to the effectiveness and reduced recovery time associated with phacoemulsification.
