Nerve repositioning for dental implants in a thin jawbone
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult who needs dental implants in the back part of the lower jaw.
- You have less than 8 mm of bone above the nerve canal in that area.
- You don't have any long-term health problems that could slow healing.
- You are not taking bisphosphonate medications (like Fosamax or Actonel).
- You do not have osteoporosis, nerve disorders (like neuralgia or Parkinson's), or other diseases that complicate healing.
- You have no tumor, cyst, or other problem in the jawbone.

This trial tests a method to widen the jawbone so there's enough room for a dental implant. It may help people who have lost some teeth and have a narrow ridge of bone.
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.
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.
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.
