Complications associated with inferior alveolar nerve repositioning for dental implant placement: a systematic review

The effect of a platelet-rich fibrin conduit on neurosensory recovery following inferior alveolar nerve lateralization: a preliminary clinical study

“…9 However, the occurrence of neural disturbance immediately following this surgery is estimated to be as high as 95.9%. 25 In this retrospective study, a modified IAN lateralization technique was evaluated in terms of the recovery of postoperative neurological dysfunction and patient satisfaction.…”

Comparison of Two Clinical Procedures in Patient Affected with Bone Deficit in Posterior Mandible

“…Nonetheless, it is a widely-used procedure. Despite the postoperative complications, literature shows that patients can live with them [7] during rehabilitation of edentulous mandible. Literature review [7] shows and proves that IANL can be recommended despite sensory disorders which can be temporary or permanent (a small number of cases of the last one).…”

“…Despite the postoperative complications, literature shows that patients can live with them [7] during rehabilitation of edentulous mandible. Literature review [7] shows and proves that IANL can be recommended despite sensory disorders which can be temporary or permanent (a small number of cases of the last one). Hirsh and Brånemark [8] show that the nerve functions returned postoperatively or during the next 3 years after the surgery and after lateralization this occurs faster than after transposition.…”

“…Another way to cure patients is to use short implants or bone grafts [7]. Annibali et al [10] published the review where Frieber et al in 2000 present the results after 10 years and the cumulative survival rate was more than 90% using short dental implants.…”

“…Annibali et al [10] published the review where Frieber et al in 2000 present the results after 10 years and the cumulative survival rate was more than 90% using short dental implants. But these two techniques generate higher costs, procedure time and donor site morbidity [7]. Furthermore, patients who had fixed short implants had greater bone loss during follow-up than in longer regular implants [11].…”
