CBCT-Based Safety Distance for Implant Placement Near the Inferior Alveolar Canal

100 participantsStarted 2027-01-20

Plain-language summary

o evaluate the radiologic proximity of mandibular dental implants placed less than 2 mm from the inferior alveolar canal using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and to determine the relationship between implant-canal distance and the occurrence of postoperative neurosensory disturbances.

Inclusion criteria

✓. Age ≥ 21 years.
✓. Implants placed in mandibular first/second premolar or molar positions (Froum et al., 2021).
✓. Patients without neurosensory changes following implant placement and healing (Froum et al., 2021).
✓. Patients with neurosensory changes after implant placement, including paresthesia, anesthesia, dysesthesia (and neuralgia where applicable) (Froum et al., 2021).

Exclusion criteria

✕. Incomplete records preventing outcome ascertainment (Froum et al., 2021).
✕. Refusal/unavailability of postoperative CBCT when clinically required for evaluation (Froum et al., 2021).
✕. Poor-quality CBCT scans or scatter artifacts interfering with evaluation (Froum et al., 2021).
✕. Contraindications for radiographs (e.g., pregnancy/breastfeeding) in cases where additional imaging would otherwise be clinically required (Froum et al., 2021).
✕. Implants placed after mental foramen
