Study Notes

Bleeding Complications

Arterial hemorrhage: bright red, spurting/pulsatile
Venous hemorrhage: dark red, continuous
Capillary hemorrhage: bright red, continuous
Primary hemorrhage: occurs during surgery, usually due to incision, retraction, or preparation of soft or hard tissue
Reactionary hemorrhage: occurs within hours after surgery, often in patients with systemic bleeding issues, on anticoagulant therapy, or with postoperative trauma to the surgical area
Secondary hemorrhage: occurs 7-10 days after surgery, often due to infection

Factors Contributing to Intraoperative Bleeding

Hypertension
Medications: anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, NSAIDs
Systemic bleeding disorders: hemophilia, von Willebrand's disease, factor deficiencies
Liver disorders: liver disease (e.g., cirrhosis, acute liver failure) associated with coagulation system abnormalities

Swallowing/Aspiration of Implant Components

Etiology: due to small size of abutments, screws, drivers, and other implant components
Possible outcomes: swallowed into the stomach or aspirated into the lungs
Prevention: use of floss ligatures, throat packs (4 × 4 gauze), or pharyngeal screens, and high-vacuum function
Treatment: supportive therapy with heat and analgesics, antibiotic therapy, monitoring for respiratory or cardiac distress

Insufficient Implant–Root Apex Distance

Etiology: poor treatment planning, poor surgical technique, or placement of too wide of an implant body
Complications: damage to adjacent periodontal ligament, loss of implant, loss of tooth
Prevention: maintain at least 1.5 mm distance from adjacent tooth root or tooth structure

Post-Surgical Bleeding

Patients should be cautioned about bleeding during the first 24 hours
Recommendations: minimize wearing an interim prosthesis, avoid using a straw, spitting, and vigorous rinsing
Elevate head, limit activities for a minimum of 24 hours

Nausea After Surgery

Etiology: prophylactic medications (Augmentin, Clindamycin) or swallowing excessive amounts of blood
Prevention: unclear, but critical in the first molar area

Late (After Surgery) Migration

Etiology: negative pressure, autoimmune reaction, occlusal overloading, peri-implantitis
Prevention: ideal treatment planning, surgical technique, and prevention of displacement and migration of implants into the maxillary sinus
