Nerve repositioning study for dental implants in lower jaw
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a computer-guided technique to move a nerve in the lower jaw so that dental implants can be placed in areas with thin bone. It looks at whether this procedure causes any numbness afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have missing teeth in the back part of your lower jaw.
- There is less than 8 mm of bone above the nerve in that area.
- The width of your jaw bone is at least 6 mm, measured 3 mm down from the top.
- You do not have any major health condition that could affect surgery or bone healing.
- You have not had bone grafts or implants in that area before.

This trial tests whether narrow dental implants can preserve jaw bone better than standard implants with bone grafting in people missing back teeth. If you have a narrow jawbone, this study may help determine which option works best for you.
This study compares two ways of making the jawbone wider in the back of the lower jaw so that dental implants can be placed. The goal is to see which method works better for people with a naturally narrow jawbone.
This study tests a new surgical approach to fix jaw fractures while protecting the facial nerve, which controls facial movement. It aims to reduce nerve damage during surgery.
This study tests a surgical technique that moves the nerve in the lower jaw to create more room for dental implants, for people who don't have enough bone. The goal is to allow implant placement even when bone is thin, which could improve your ability to get permanent teeth.
This study looks at how close dental implants can be placed to the nerve in the lower jaw without causing nerve damage. It uses 3D x-rays to find a safe distance that helps avoid numbness or other nerve problems after surgery.
This study looks at how well dental implants do when they are placed very close to a major nerve in the jaw, using a computer-guided method. It helps doctors learn if this technique is safe and successful for patients like you.
