Computer - Guided Inferior Alveolar Nerve Lateralization With Simultaneous Prosthetic Driven Implant Placement Will be Performed on 10 Surgical Sides (Mandibular Quadrants) to Evaluate the Postoperative Neurosensory Disturbances Following Guided Inferior Alveolar Nerve Lateralization
Egypt10 participantsStarted 2024-02-21
Plain-language summary
The aim of this clinical trial is to primarily evaluate the postoperative neurosensory disturbances following guided inferior alveolar nerve lateralization with simultaneous implant placement in 10 surgical sides (mandibular quadrants distal to the mental foramen) either in males or females with age range from 30 to 75 years. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Will the postoperative neurosensory disturbances after the surgical intervention fade out and if not, will it be annoying to the patient?
2. Can we consider inferior alveolar nerve lateralization efficient substitute to short implants?
3. will the inserted implants going to be properly ossteointegrated at the site of osteotomy for lateralization?

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Atrophic mandibular ridges distal to the mental foramen with residual alveolar bone height ≤ 8 mm above the IAN.
* The width of the alveolar ridge ≥ 6 mm, 3mm down from the alveolar crest.
Exclusion Criteria:
* All patients suffering from any systemic disease that may contraindicate implant surgery or affect bone healing and osseointegration of implant.
* Previous history of bone augmentation or implant placement in the site planned for nerve lateralization.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
