Imad Salloum
Salloum Dental Clinic, Syria
A
nterior mandible has been advocated as a site of choice for implant placement, a site of best bone quality, with highest
success rate fulfills all prosthetic options for full and partial edentulism, site of easy surgical access, and above all it is a
safe surgical site far from important anatomical structures. However a serious complication, hemorrhage in sublingual space
may progressively lead to airway obstruction and near fatal condition, resulted from severe edema and swollen tongue, after
placement of anterior mandibular implants. Case presentation, literature review, anatomy and prevention guidelines, all will
be discussed in my presentation.
