Inferior Alveolar Nerve Lateralization With Simultaneous Implant Placement in Atrophic Posterior Mandible
18 participantsStarted 2025-07-01
Plain-language summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of sticky bone on acceleration of recovery of the neurosensory dysfunction of the inferior alveolar nerve following inferior alveolar nerve lateralization surgery for implant placement in patients with posterior vertical bone deficiency in order to overcome the main disadvantage of this technique \& provide a reliable,saving time - computer guided simultaneous implant placement- and improved technique.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Adult patients requiring oral rehabilitation with dental implants in vertically atrophied
* Posterior mandibular region, less than 8mm of bone above the mandibular canal.
* Patients should be free from any systemic conditions that may affect normal healing.
* Absence of any pathological conditions involving mandibular bones.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients under bisphosphonates treatment.
* Any contraindication for general anaesthesia.
* Osteoporotic patients.
* Patients with neurological disorders (neuralgias, Parkinson' s disease).
* Patients with systematic disease that may complicate healing.
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.
1This trial involves a procedure called inferior alveolar nerve lateralization — can you explain what that means for my nerve and what the realistic risk is that I'd experience numbness or altered sensation in my lip, chin, or teeth afterward?
2The trial's main thing being measured is neurosensory assessment of the inferior alveolar nerve — what specific tests would be done to check whether my nerve function is intact, and how long would I be monitored for nerve-related side effects?
3Since this study is listed as 'not yet recruiting,' what does that mean for my timeline — and would it make more sense to explore currently available implant options for my situation in the meantime?
4This procedure places implants at the same time as moving the nerve in an atrophic posterior mandible — how does my specific bone loss compare to what this trial is targeting, and is my jaw's condition a good match for this combined approach?
5Since this is listed as phase N/A, meaning it may be an early or observational study, what is already known about the safety of nerve lateralization with simultaneous implant placement, and are there less invasive alternatives we should consider first?

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.
