Serious postextraction hemorrhage into the submandibular space: report of case

What influence do anticoagulants have on oral implant therapy? A systematic review

“…Although case reports were excluded from the selected papers for the systematic reviews, they have been analysed to identify the occurrence of serious haemorrhages after dental and oral surgery procedures. Several reports have described post‐extraction haemorrhages leading to upper airway obstruction by severe bleeding in the floor of the mouth (Sakamoto et al 1975; Darriba & Mendonça‐Caridad 1997; Mordenfeld et al 1997; Niamtu 2001; Boyes‐Varley & Lownie 2002; Isaacson 2004; Kalpidis & Konstantinidis 2005; Budihardja et al 2006; Pigadas et al 2009). Although the occurrence of this complication is rare, it must be taken into consideration due to its potentially fatal outcome, especially when placing implants in the mandible, because the haemorrhage is usually caused by severing vessels when perforating the lingual cortical plate of the mandible (for a review, see Kalpidis & Setayesh 2004).…”

Near-fatal airway obstruction after routine implant placement

“…Although most dental implants can be placed very simply, case reports of near-fatal complications from dentoalveolar surgery exist. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Severe bleeding can also occur from iatrogenic injuries in the floor of the mouth as a result of misdirected dental burs and disks. 13,14 Bavitz et al 15 presented an excellent review of the arterial supply to the floor of the mouth, in which they state that the lingual artery is typically the third branch of the external carotid artery.…”

Hémostase locale en Chirurgie orale. 2èmepartie : efficacité de la colle de fibrine

“…Dans la Division de Stomatologie et Chirurgie orale, la prise en charge des patients ayant un trouble de l'hémostase, est assez univoque, quelle que soit l'étiologie du trouble de l'hémostase, contrairement à ce que l'on observe dans la littérature. En chirurgie orale, les interventions chirurgicales (extractions, poses d'implant…) peuvent constituer un risque fatal si certaines précautions élémentaires ne sont pas prises [85][86][87]. 3.…”
