Abstract
|
|
|
|
The implant placement of the edentulous mandible requires a sufficient height of bone above the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). In the atrophic mandible with the lack of bone height, we need additional procedures for implant rehabilitation. Inferior alveolar nerve repositioning (IANR) with implant placement can offer alternative method in treating atrophic edentulous patients. The main disadvantage of IANR is the risk of post-operative neurosensory disturbance due to stretching of the IAN. So it is important for the surgeon to manipulate the IAN with as little trauma as possible. This report of three cases presents the successful implant placement with IANR. In this cases, there were no permanent nerve damage and all patients were satisfied with the result.
