“…Significant hemorrhages are mostly described after anterior mandibular implant placement or in sinus augmentation before or during implant placement. For mandibular implant placement, a review of the literature shows at least 19 case reports related to hemorrhage in the floor of the mouth (10,14,18,19,23,29,38,39,42,48,49,67,69,74,79,81,83,102,116) and potentially life-threatening upper airway obstruction (14,23,48,49,67,69,79). Those hemorrhages were mostly related to lingual perforations, long implants (≥15 mm) or deep osteotomy preparations.…”
