abstract
The presence of lingual vascular foramina and canals in the interforaminal region may increase the risk of surgical complications during implant placement, bone grafting procedures and osteodistraction. Oral and maxillofacial radiologists should recognize this anatomical variant and include a description in their interpretative report to inform the referring clinician of the potential for surgical complications.
