Moving jaw nerve to place dental implants in thin bone
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Need to be an adult needing dental implants in the lower back jaw.
- Must have less than 8 mm of bone above the nerve in that area.
- Should be in good health, with no conditions that could slow healing.
- Must not have any disease or damage in the jawbone.
- Cannot be taking bisphosphonate medications for bone issues.
- Need to be able to safely have general anesthesia.

This study compares two ways of placing dental implants in the back of the jaw. One method uses artificial intelligence (a computer program) to plan the implant position; the other uses a traditional, non-AI approach. The goal is to see if the AI-guided placement is more accurate, which may lead to better results.
This study tests a technique to widen a narrow jawbone so dental implants can be placed. It aims to make the procedure safe and effective for people who are missing teeth but don't have enough bone width.
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 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.
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 tests a technology that uses a computer-guided system (dynamic navigation) to place multiple implants in the upper jaw of people who have no teeth left. It aims to improve placement accuracy and make the surgery safer.
