Description
Doogyum Kim and six co-authors published a surgical case report in twenty twenty-three on moving the jaw nerve aside to place dental implants where bone is too shallow above it. In the back lower jaw, severe bone loss can leave no room even for short implants. Bone grafting is one answer; repositioning the nerve is another.
Two patients had the inferior alveolar nerve transposed and shifted sideways, allowing implants to anchor in the remaining bone. Both cases healed with full implant integration. The numbness that follows such surgery in lip and chin resolved completely in each patient. The authors present nerve repositioning as a valuable option for badly compromised jaws when grafting is impractical.
