Issue Date: | 2008 | Publisher: | Quintessence Publishing Co Ltd | Source: | Chinese Journal of dental research, 11(1). p. 56-64 | Abstract: | Nowadays, oral implants are routinely used for rehabilitation of the edentulous mandible as this procedure is often considered uncomplicated, especially when limiting implant placement to the symphyseal area. Nevertheless, a case of nerve disturbance in the anterior mandible after the implant placement is described. Therefore, surgical, radiographic and anatomic considerations are reviewed in order to encounter the risks for neurosensory disturbance and haemorrhage. It is clear that preoperative radiographic planning of oral implant placement in the anterior mandible should pay attention to the mandibular incisive and lingual canals, besides the mental one, to avoid any neurovascular complications | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/8499 | ISSN: | 1462-6446 | Category: | A2 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
