Brisk, pulsatile bleeding from the anterior mandibular incisive canal during implant surgery: a case report and use of an active hemostatic matrix to terminate acute bleeding

Implant Dent. 2012 Oct;21(5):368-73. doi: 10.1097/ID.0b013e318264d70d.

Abstract

Dental implant surgery in the anterior mandible is considered a relatively routine and safe procedure with minimal morbidity. A case of brisk, pulsatile bleeding from the anterior mandibular incisive canal and its management using an active hemostatic matrix is presented. In addition, a review of the literature regarding the anatomy of this region of the mandible and hemostatic strategy to achieve hemostasis will be discussed.
