Safe implant placement near the lower jaw nerve
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years old or older.
- You need dental implants in your lower back teeth (premolars or molars).
- You may or may not have had nerve symptoms like numbness, tingling, or pain after previous implant surgery.
- You agree to have a follow-up 3D x-ray (CBCT) after the implant placement if needed.
- Your dental records are complete and you have no conditions that prevent taking x-rays (like pregnancy).

This study compares two ways of placing dental implants in the upper jaw when there is not enough bone. The goal is to find which method is safer and more effective for people with thin jawbones.
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 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 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 tests a new way of placing dental implants in the front upper teeth. It combines a special technique to keep the natural tooth root in place, with growth factors and a bone graft material, to help the implant succeed and keep the gum looking natural.
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.
