Hemorrhage of the floor of the mouth resulting from lingual perforation during implant placement: a clinical report.

The edentulous mandible provides a frequent indication for oral implants. In many cases implants are placed in the interforaminal region to support fixed prostheses or give retention to removable overdentures. One of the hazards of this seemingly safe surgical area is hemorrhage of the floor of the mouth. In this article, two cases of this life-threatening complication are reported.

[Osteoplastic tooth transposition. Surgical method for orthognathic placement of a single tooth].

The procedure described in this article is based on the surgical subtotal luxation of a tooth-containing alveolar segment and allows the repositioning of single teeth while almost regularly safeguarding tooth vitality. This procedure has proven particularly effective in the treatment of maxillary anteriors, canines and premolars. For patients preferring surgical correction to long-term orthodontic treatment this limited operative intervention allows safe orthodontic alignment. To date, relapses have not been observed in the cases treated. Stable immobilization of up to six weeks postoperatively is achieved by splinting.
