Application of a Titanium Screw for the Hemorrhage from the Bone Channel during the Lateral Window Technique: A Technical Note.
Pulsatile and profuse hemorrhage occurred in the lateral window technique for implant placement. The surgery was performed in the dental clinic under local anesthesia. The posterior superior alveolar artery was suspected to be the main feeder. Ordinary methods for hemostasis, such as vasoconstrictor-soaked gauze compression, electrocautery hemostasis, absorbable hemostat packing, and bone wax application, were tried. However, strong pulsatile bleeding could not be controlled at all. Complete hemostasis was hardly expected. The idea came up when the titanium screws came into sight. The sterilized screw was always stocked for bone grafting. After visualizing the bleeding point clearly by suction, and the screw was inserted into the bone channel. The bleeding was completely stopped immediately. It may not be a novel method, but is certainly a reliable application of the screw, which is fundamentally the same as arterial catheter embolization.
