Management of Uncontrolled Bleeding after Tooth Extraction: A Case Report of Arteriovenous Malformation

“…Normally, no clinical symptoms are observed, which prevents detection 6) . When AVM affects the jaw bone, clinical symptoms, such as bleeding near the periodontal tissue, mobility of the affected teeth, and facial edema, present in rare cases 7) . Radiological findings may show irregular, soap bubble-shaped lesions with unclear boundaries, and sometimes there may be root resorption in the affected teeth 6) .…”
