Safe distance for jaw implants near a main nerve
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 21 years or older.
- You are getting an implant in a lower back tooth (first or second premolar, or molar).
- You may or may not have had nerve symptoms (numbness, tingling, pain) after your implant was placed.
- You must be able to have a follow-up CBCT scan if needed.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding if additional X-rays are needed.

This trial compares two ways of placing dental implants in the back of the upper jaw when the bone is too thin for standard implants. It may help people who need an implant but have lost bone height.
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 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 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 tests a new way to remove jaw cysts using a tiny camera and special guides, which may help protect the nerve in your jaw. It is for people with a tooth-related cyst at least 2 cm wide that is pushing on that nerve.
This study looks at whether the spacing between dental implants can affect the risk of disease around them. If you have two or more implants next to each other that have been working for at least 3 years, this trial may help understand how to keep your implants healthy.
