For extraction of #19 in a patient on escitalopram, which complication does NOT need to be in the informed consent?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Delayed healing
- A. IAN paresthesia is a recognized, material risk of lower-molar extraction — must be disclosed.
- B. Damage to adjacent teeth is a foreseeable risk — must be disclosed.
- C. Bleeding is a standard surgical risk — must be disclosed.
- D. Correct (keyed). Delayed healing is not a specific/material risk that must be itemized here (escitalopram does not impair healing in the way warranting separate consent), so it is the exception.
