Abstract
Placement of the dental implant has become a popular option for oral rehabilitation in edentulous patients. The inter-foraminal
area of the anterior mandible has become the elective area for the placement of implants. This area is also prone to vascular
accidents because of the rich vascular anastomoses that supply this area. We present a case of slight perforation of one of the
implants during surgery which just missed the sublingual branch. It was followed for a period of one year and no relevant
complications were seen.
