title: Brisk, pulsatile bleeding from the anterior mandibular incisive canal during implant surgery:  a case report and use of an active hemostatic matrix to terminate acute bleeding.
abstract: Dental implant surgery in the anterior mandible is considered a relatively routine and safe procedure with minimal morbidity. A case of brisk, pulsatile bleeding from the anterior mandibular incisive canal and its management using an active hemostatic matrix is presented. In addition, a review of the literature regarding the anatomy of this region of the mandible and hemostatic strategy to achieve hemostasis will be discussed.
