- Managing surgical complications in oral implantology : a focus on surgical complications and their managementPublication . Matmer, Yacine; Rebola, JorgeOral implantology is a widely adopted and effective method for restoring the function and aesthetics of edentulous patients. Despite the advances in materials and surgical techniques, the procedure remains susceptible to various complications, particularly of vascular and neurological nature. These adverse events can significantly impact the success of treatment and patient safety. This thesis examines key intraoperative and postoperative surgical complications, focusing on hemorrhage and nerve injuries involving the inferior alveolar, lingual, and mental nerves, as well as arterial structures such as the posterior superior alveolar artery and submental artery. Through anatomical illustrations and detailed discussion, risk zones are identified and contextualized. Classifications of complications, based on severity, reversibility, and intervention needs, are presented, alongside a review of contributing factors such as poor radiographic planning and technical errors. The role of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and digital workflows in anticipating and minimizing risks is also explored. This study aims to provide practical recommendations for preventing and managing complications, contributing to safer surgical protocols in implant dentistry.
