Because sublingual region is well-vascularized and sublingual artery is passed throughout this region, it should be careful not to perforate lingual cortex when placing dental implant on mandible. A 83-years-old male complained severe sublingual hematoma, hemorrhage and dyspnea came our outpatient department. He had received dental implant placement in the same day. He needed hemostasis and airway control. If soft tissue of sublingual region and the artery are injured, it may result in life-threatening excessive hemorrhage. In dental implant surgery, especially mandible, we should recognize the accurate shape of mandible and anatomy of sublingual region. It is important to stop anticoagulant agent before surgery. When a patient has airway obstruction, the operator should manage airway quickly.

The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the treatment outcome of proximal tibial graft. Thirty-nine patients were grafted with proximal tibia for the repair of maxillofacial defect. Complications can be considered incidental and neglectable clinical significance. It is concluded that the proximal tibial metaphysis offers a promising alternative sources of cancellous bone for the repair of maxillofacial defect.

Dexamethasone has been used in oral and maxillofacial surgery for postoperative pain, swelling, and trismus following third molar surgeries. It is a potent and powerful drug that can alleviate the aforementioned postoperative sequelae. Dexamethasone is responsible for inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators in the inflammation process to improve patient quality of life after surgical intervention. There are several available routes of administering dexamethasone. This article will help determine the suggested routes of administration, dosage, parameters, and dexamethasone timing for third molar surgeries.

To our knowledge, the imaging features of costochondral grafts (CCGs) on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) have not been documented in the literature. We present the case of a CCG in the facial soft tissue to the anterior mandible, with changes mimicking a cartilaginous neoplasm. This is the first report to describe the CBCT imaging features of a long-standing graft in the anterior mandible. Implants or grafts may be incidental findings on radiographic images made for unrelated purposes. Although most are well-defined and radiographically homogeneous, being of relatively inert non-biological material, immune reactions to some grafts may stimulate alterations in the appearance of surrounding tissues. Biological implants may undergo growth and differentiation, causing their appearance to mimic neoplastic lesions. We present the case of a cosmetic autogenous CCG that posed a diagnostic challenge both radiographically and histopathologically.
