Nerve repositioning study for dental implants in lower jaw
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental, Pain 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 compares a computer-guided technique versus a free-hand method to widen a narrow jawbone in the lower back mouth. If you have a thin jawbone and need dental implants, this study tests a more precise way to create enough space for them.
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 trial tests two ways of splitting a narrow upper jawbone to make room for dental implants. It may help you if your jawbone is too narrow for implants but tall enough.
This trial tests a surgery that moves a nerve in the lower jaw to make room for dental implants in people who don't have enough bone. It may help those who were told they couldn't get implants because the jawbone is too thin.
This trial uses special 3D scans (CBCT) to check the safe distance needed when placing dental implants near the lower jaw nerve. It looks at patients who did or did not have nerve changes after implant placement.
This study checks how well dental implants placed very close to a jaw nerve work and stay safe. It uses a computer-guided system to place the implants precisely.
