Abstract
Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) lateralization (IANL) or transposition (IANT) are both techniques allowing for dental implant placement in posterior atrophic mandibles. The aim of this study was to systematically review the implant survival rate and the complications associated with IAN reposition techniques with simultaneous implant placement in atrophic posterior mandibles. This systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis). The review was designed to answer the following PICO question: Is IAN repositioning (I) a safe and efficient technique (O) to treat patient looking for fixed dental rehabilitation of an atrophic posterior mandible (P). Thirty-three articles were reviewed, including a total of 899 patients, and approximately 950 IAN repositioning procedures. Dental implant survival rate ranged between 86.95% and 100% with a mean dental survival rate of 90.16%. Among the 269 patients who underwent IANT, there were 93% immediate neurosensory disturbance, and 15% persistent neurosensory disturbance. Among the 350 patients who underwent IANL, there were 93% immediate neurosensory disturbance, and 6% persistent neurosensory disturbance. IANT and IANL are reliable techniques allowing safe dental implant placement in atrophic posterior mandible with high patient satisfaction. IANL seems to cause less persistent neurosensory disturbances compared to IANT. The level of evidence is poor due to the high number of bias present in the included studies. IAN neurosensory disturbance assessment should be better homogenized in order to increase comparability.

Abstract
The edentulous atrophic posterior mandible is often a great challenge for implant rehabilitation. Although a number of treatment options have been proposed, including the use of short implants and surgical grafting techniques, in cases of severe bone atrophy, techniques for mobilization of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) have been shown to be efficient, with good results. Four female patients underwent IAN lateralization for prosthetic rehabilitation of the posterior mandible from 2013 to 2019, with 3 years to 5 years and 3 months of follow-up. This case series describes a new technique for mobilization of the IAN, named in-block lateralization, to facilitate access to the IAN and to reduce nerve manipulation. The implant is immediately installed (allowing nerve lateralization in unitary spaces), and the original mandibular anatomy is restored with autogenous bone from the original bed during the same surgical procedure. When well indicated and well performed, this new approach provides better and easier visualization of the IAN and safer manipulation aiming to achieve good results for implant stability and minimal risk of neurosensory disturbances, allowing rehabilitation even in unitary spaces.

Dental implant placement with inferior alveolar nerve repositioning in severely resorbed mandibles: a retrospective multicenter study of implant success and survival rates, and lower lip sensory disturbances. Int J Implant Dent 2021; 7:44. [PMID: 34105021 PMCID: PMC8187674 DOI: 10.1186/s40729-021-00334-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2021] [Accepted: 03/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to analyze medium-to-long-term implant success and survival rates, and lower lip sensory disturbance after placement of dental implants with simultaneous inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) repositioning. Methods Fifteen patients (3 men, 12 women) treated in two centers were included in this retrospective study. The ages of the participants ranged from 19 to 68. A total of 48 dental implants were placed in 23 posterior mandibular segments simultaneously with IAN transposition or lateralization. The residual bone above the IAN ranged from 0.5 to 7.0 mm. Crestal bone changes were measured using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Disturbance of the IAN was evaluated subjectively using a modified questionnaire. Results The healing process was uneventful in fourteen patients. In one patient, spontaneous fracture of the operated mandible occurred on tenth day after the surgery. The implant in the fracture line was removed at the time of open reduction and fixation. One more implant was lost after 5 years of loading. Therefore, the overall dental implant survival rate was 95.8%, whereas all implants in function were judged as successful after a follow-up period of 1 to 10 years. Transient neurosensory disturbances (ND) were observed in all patients who underwent IAN lateralization and IAN transposition. At follow-up times of 3 years, 5 years, and 10 years, weak hypoesthesia remained in two subjects treated with IAN transposition. None of the patients developed neuropathic pain after the procedure. Conclusions Within the limitations of this study, we conclude that reconstruction of severely resorbed mandibles with dental implants in conjunction with IAN repositioning is an effective and reliable technique. Although neurosensory disturbances are the most common complication after surgery, they tend to resolve over time. Advanced surgical skills are required to perform this technique.

Abstract
Rehabilitation of an edentulous posterior mandible to restore function and arch stability can be accomplished with a removable partial denture or an implant supported fixed partial denture. If the alveolus is severely resorbed, implant placement becomes challenging due to inadequate bone and the position of the inferior alveolar nerve. This report details a situation where a mandibular fracture occurred soon after inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) transposition and simultaneous implant placement. The prosthodontic reconstruction was completed using a fixed-dental prosthesis.

Abstract
This article explores how to prevent and manage complications of dentoalveolar surgery. Many complications are avoidable. Surgical skills and knowledge of anatomy play an important role in prevention of complications. Prevention starts with detailed history and physical examination of the patient. Key to perioperative management of patients is risk assessment. Without a proper history and physical examination, the clinician is unable to assess the risk of performing surgery and anesthesia for each patient. Some illnesses and medications increase the risk of complications. The following complications are discussed: alveolar osteitis, displacement, fracture, hemorrhage, infection, nonhealing wound, oroantral communication, swelling, and trismus.

Abstract
Background: Implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation of a severely atrophic posterior mandibular alveolar ridge is a real challenge. Implant placement in such situations is very difficult and implies the risk of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) damage. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of neurosensory disturbance and the cumulative survival of dental implants placed after the IAN transposition (IANT) procedures followed by dental implants placement. Materials and Methods: Twenty International Team for Implantology implants were placed in eight patients following unilateral IANT. In two patients, nerve transposition was performed bilaterally, and hence, a total of 10 IAN transposition surgeries were performed. Neurosensory dysfunction was objectively evaluated by using light touch test (LT), pain test (PT), and 2-point discrimination test (2-DT). In addition, patients were asked to answer a short questionnaire to investigate the individual feeling of discomfort and advantages related to this surgical technique. The mean follow-up periods were 47.1 months (range 12–78 months). Results: Neurosensory disturbance (i.e., disturbance registered by the LT, PT, and 2-DT tests) was experienced in 2 of 10 cases. The cumulative implant survival was 100%. However, at the time of data analysis (12–79 months after surgery), all patients indicated that they would go through the surgery again. Conclusion: IANT can permit the placement of implants with adequate length and good initial stabilization as used in routine sites, with the same favorable prognosis. All patients felt that they had received benefits from their new prostheses in terms of improved comfort, chewing efficiency, and esthetics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Surgical inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) reposition techniques offer an alternative approach to implant-based rehabilitation in patients with severe mandibular atrophy The aim of this systematic review, was to determine the complications associated with the technique and to determine which of two variants (lateralization or transposition) is less invasive. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search was conducted in databases complimented by a manual search to identify clinical studies investigating complications derived from these surgical techniques. Only studies of adult humans, published in English during the last seven years were included. The initial search located 78 articles, of which seven were included in analysis on the basis of the following characteristics: four investigated inferior alveolar nerve lateralization (IANL), one inferior alveolar nerve transposition (IANT), and two investigated both reposition techniques. RESULTS This review included data from 289 patients who were recruited for lateralization (N=319) or transposition surgery (N=33) making a total of 352 reposition procedures. Five patients (1.73%) suffered persistent damage to the IAN at the end of the follow-up periods. The overall implant survival rate was 99.26% of a total of 817 implants. The most common complications were neurosensory problems, mandibular fracture, infection, implant loss, and insufficient anatomical reconstruction of the atrophic mandible; neurosensory complications (hypoesthesia, paraesthesia, and hyperesthesia caused by traumatic damage to the nerve) were the most prevalent. CONCLUSIONS Lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve would appear to be less invasive as it produces lower percentages of persistent neurosensory disorders (1.56%) than transposition (12.12%). Nevertheless, both techniques offer a viable approach to implant placement in edentulous atrophic mandibles, obtaining predictable clinical and radiological results after 5 years implant loading.

Abstract
Rehabilitation of the atrophic posterior mandible is a challenge in dental practice. Conventional treatments include the segmental sandwich osteotomy or inlay bone grafting (IBG), onlay bone grafting (OBG), short implants, distraction osteogenesis, and inferior alveolar nerve transposition (IANT), each with its downsides. This case series is reported to introduce a modification of IBG - pedicled segmental rotation (PSR) for the reconstruction of co-existing vertical and horizontal defects in the posterior mandible. Ten healthy patients with vertical-horizontal defects (no vertical bone walls and basal bone width <5 mm) were included. Posterior mandibular defects were treated with PSR, PSR + IANT, or PSR + OBG. In PSR, a pedicle-preserved segment is up-fractured superiorly and then flipped 90° to a vertical position. The segment is then supported with inorganic bovine bone and autogenous bone particulates. Cone beam computed tomography was performed preoperatively and at the 4-month follow-up, in addition to clinical examinations. Soft tissue healing was uneventful. Radiomorphometric analysis showed a mean new bone volume of 647.79 ± 81.31 mm3 (ΔH = 7.13 mm), 836.99 ± 119.14 mm3 (ΔH = 7.8 mm), and 640.20 ± 50.13 mm3 (ΔH = 6.59) in the PSR, PSR + OBG, and PSR + IANT groups, respectively. The proposed PSR technique used in this case series showed promising results for vertical and horizontal augmentation of the atrophic posterior mandible before placement of dental implants.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare, in vitro, the mechanical resistance to vertical displacement of the mandible after osteotomy for lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve and installation of dental implants. One hundred eighty polyurethane mandibles were equally divided into 6 groups: G1-intact hemi-mandibles (control group), G2-hemi-mandibles after osteotomy for lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve, G3-hemi-mandibles with installation of 3 bicortical dental implants (3.75 × 13 mm), G4-hemi-mandibles with installation of 3 dental implants that did not reach the basal cortical bone (3.75 × 11 mm), G5-hemi-mandibles after osteotomy for lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve and installation of 3 bicortical dental implants (3.75 × 13 mm) and G6-hemi-mandibles after osteotomy for lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve and installation of 3 dental implants that did not reach the basal cortical bone (3.75 × 11 mm). The specimens were subjected to linear loading tests. The highest mean value of maximum load was found in G1 (412.36N ± 11.99), followed by G2 (396.87N ± 23.94), G3 (319.63N ± 57.28), G4 (303.34N ± 18.25), G5 (231.75N ± 63.64) and G6 (228.13N ± 20.75). Based on this data, it can be concluded that the bicorticalization (or not) of the implants was not a statistically significant risk factor for the vertical displacement of polyurethane hemi-mandibles.

Abstract
Inferior alveolar nerve transposition is a useful adjunctive surgery in implant dentistry when there is insufficient bone between the ridge crest and the inferior dental canal. However, if this surgery is done carelessly, complications such as mandibular fracture and permanent lower lip numbness can occur. This article reports the first case of bilateral mandibular body fracture occurring during inferior alveolar nerve transposition. The surgical management of a complicated bilateral displaced mandibular body fracture is explained herein. A literature review of mandibular fracture after inferior alveolar nerve transposition is also presented. Adhering to the principles of fracture, treatment is mandatory for the successful management of mandibular fracture after inferior alveolar nerve transposition.

Abstract
Placement of dental implants in the posterior mandibular alveolar ridges may become a challenging procedure because of limited bone height between the crest of the ridge and the inferior alveolar canal. The aim of this study was to introduce an innovative, less invasive, highly accurate, and easy surgical technique of inferior alveolar nerve lateralization in the posterior deficient mandible using a special customized 3-dimensional–printed surgical guide to enhance the bone height for implant placement. This case series study included 7 patients with unilateral edentulous mandibular alveolar ridges. Customized surgical guides were manufactured using fused deposition modeling technology to accurately place a rectangular window to uncover the canal and also for immediate placement of dental implants in all cases. The results of this limited study provided information on an innovative technique that decreased intraoperative time and demonstrated decreased risks for (1) inferior alveolar nerve injury and (2) postoperative nerve dysfunction.

Abstract
Inferior alveolar nerve lateralization (IANL) and short dental implants (SDI) are 2 viable implant-based treatment approaches in the presence of atrophied posterior mandible. Despite the risks of dysfunction, infection, and pathologic fractures in IANL, it becomes possible to place standard implants. The purpose of this study was to compare SDI and IANL approaches from clinical and radiographic aspects. Fifteen subjects having unilateral atrophic mandibles were allocated to SDI and IANL treatment groups. Following surgical procedures, early postoperative complications, implant survival, and periimplant clinical and radiographic parameters including probing pocket depth, attachment level, keratinized tissue amount, vertical tissue recession, and marginal bone loss were recorded at baseline and 1-year after prosthetic rehabilitation. In both groups, no implant was lost. Except usual postoperative complications, 2 patients had transient paraesthesia after IANL. According to time-dependent evaluation, both groups showed significant increase in probing pocket depth and attachment level at 1-year follow-up compared with baseline (P < 0.05). Except a slight but significant increase in mesial surface of SDI group (P < 0.05), no remarkable time-dependent change was identified in vertical tissue recession. Keratinized tissue amount did not exhibit any inter- or intragroup difference during whole study period. Marginal bone loss did not show any difference between IANL and SDI groups at follow-up. SDI placement or standard length implant placement with IANL can be considered promising alternatives in the treatment of atrophic mandibular posterior regions. However, SDI may be preferred in terms of lower complication risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE Augmentation of deficient mandibular posterior alveolar ridges poses a great challenge because of extensive bone deficiency and the presence of the inferior alveolar nerve. This study sets its focus on vertical alveolar distraction osteogenesis (ADO) at the posterior mandible before dental implant placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 21 sites in 18 patients with severe mandibular posterior alveolar ridge deficiency. A trapezoidal osteotomy was performed, and an extraosseous alveolar distraction device was fixed and activated after a 4-day latency period at a rate of 0.5 mm/day. After a 4-month retention period, the distraction device was removed and titanium dental implants were placed. RESULTS A mean vertical augmentation of 14.47 mm was gained. The newly formed bone was shown using panoramic radiography and computed tomography. We placed 56 dental implants, and during a minimum follow-up period of 36 months, 2 implants were lost, resulting in a success rate of 96.42%. CONCLUSIONS ADO offers marked vertical ridge augmentation with simultaneous soft tissue expansion and stable results. ADO diminishes the need for autogenous bone graft, thus sparing donor-site morbidity. ADO of the deficient posterior mandibular alveolar ridge is useful in moderate to severe bony deficiencies and allows for adequate bone formation, which allows implant insertion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Clinicians commonly consider atrophic site topography as an important determinant in deciding the augmentation technique to utilize, as well as forecasting the likelihood of success. The purpose of this retrospective study was to examine the influence of initial atrophic posterior mandible morphology on the outcome of implants placed following augmentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 52 patients contributed 71 edentulous sites, and 185 implants were placed with mean follow-up of 37.97 months. The initial defect morphology was classified according to ABC classification (Journal of Oral Implantology, 37, 2013a and 361). Ridge augmentation was performed by "cortical autogenous tenting" (CAT) followed by either simultaneous or delayed implant placement after 4-6 months of healing. The European Academy of Osseointegration success criteria were used to evaluate implant outcomes. RESULTS The overall survival and success rates of dental implants were 98.91% and 80%, respectively. Cumulative success and survival rates in CAT group were 95% and 100% after 2 years of follow-up. The highest marginal bone loss (MBL) was observed (1.26 mm ± 0.99) around implants placed in augmented edentulous sites with initially narrow and flat alveolar crest (defect class CII). Conversely, least MBL (0.48 mm ± 0.78) was detected around implants placed into edentulous sites with two sloped boney walls (defect class AII). Differences between MBL observed around implants placed into initial defect class C, initial defect type and class A (I, II), as well as class BII, were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Among all implants, 148 were considered as successful, 26 exhibited satisfactory survival, nine with compromised survival, and two implants failed. CONCLUSION The present data confirmed the effect of initial ridge morphology on the outcome of implants placed into augmented bone. Specifically, class A and class B atrophic ridge defects, with one and two vertical boney walls, respectively, may be considered as more favorable recipient sites than class C defects with flat morphology. This conclusion is based on least MBL around implants placed into initial defect class A and class B augmented sites, and higher MBL in implants placed into class C recipient sites. A randomized controlled trial is warranted to examine these exploratory observations.

Abstract
Nerve repositioning surgery is one of the treatments chosen for the patients with edentulous posterior atrophic mandible. Like any other treatments, this therapy has its advantages and disadvantages, indications and contraindications. The most important complication of this procedure is neurosensory disturbance. This problem may occur at different stages of the treatment. One common time when nerve damage happens is when the nerve is located outside the canal and drilling and insertion of the implant are performed. Accordingly, this report describes a simple and feasible method to retract and protect nerves outside the canal during the treatment of nerve transposition. This will reduce the risk of nerve damage.

Abstract
PURPOSE We sought to assess implant success/survival/failure rate following cortical autogenous tenting technique (CATT) versus inferior alveolar nerve transposition (IANT) in the posterior mandible. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent these two procedures between 2007 and 2011 were analyzed. CATT was performed using lateral ramus block graft and implants were inserted simultaneously or after 4 to 6 months. In IANT, implants were placed simultaneously after nerve transposition with or without mental foramen involvement. Data regarding marginal bone level (MBL), pus discharge (PD), neurosensory dysfunction (NSD), implant mobility, and failure were collected. Success rate was measured based on Pisa Consensus. Independent sample t-test with a significance level of 0.05 was used to compare implant dimensions and MBL changes between the two techniques. RESULTS A total of 118 patients with a mean age of 54.85 years were included. The mean follow-up after CATT and IANT was 37.97 and 18.51 months, respectively. The overall survival and success rates of dental implants in the CATT group were 98.73% and 71.52%, respectively. The corresponding values for IANT subjects were 98.74% and 94.56%, respectively. Implant length and diameter in IANT group were significantly longer and wider than implants used after CATT (p value < .001). MBL changes in both techniques were less than 1 mm (p value = .79). Two cases of NSD, seven PD, and two implant failures were found in the CATT group. For IANT patients, seven permanent NSD, two PD, two implant failures, and one mandibular fracture were documented. CONCLUSION Both techniques had implant survival rates similar to implants placed in unaltered bone. A higher implant success rate, albeit with higher incidence of long-lasting nerve damage, was observed in the IANT group.

Abstract
Objectives This article, the second in a two-part series, continues the discussion of inferior alveolar nerve lateralization/transposition for dental implant placement. The aim of this article is to review the scientific literature and clinical reports in order to analyse the neurosensory complications, risks and disadvantages of lateralization/transposition of the inferior alveolar nerve followed by implant placement in an edentulous atrophic posterior mandible. Material and Methods A comprehensive review of the current literature was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines by accessing the NCBI PubMed and PMC databases, as well as academic sites and books. The articles were searched from January 1997 to July 2014. Articles in English language, which included adult patients between 18 - 80 years of age who had minimal residual bone above the mandibular canal and had undergone inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) repositioning, with minimum 6 months of follow-up, were included. Results A total of 21 studies were included in this review. Ten were related to IAN transposition, 7 to IAN lateralization and 4 to both transposition and lateralization. The IAN neurosensory disturbance function was present in most patients (99.47% [376/378]) for 1 to 6 months. In total, 0.53% (2/378) of procedures the disturbances were permanent. Conclusions Inferior alveolar nerve repositioning is related to initial transient change in sensation in the majority of cases. The most popular causes of nerve damage are spatula-caused traction in the mucoperiosteal flap, pressure due to severe inflammation or retention of fluid around the nerve and subsequent development of transient ischemia, and mandibular body fracture.

Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this first part of a two-part series was to review the literature concerning the indications, contraindications, advantages, disadvantages and surgical techniques of the lateralization and transposition of the inferior alveolar nerve, followed by the placement of an implant in an edentulous atrophic posterior mandible. Material and Methods A comprehensive review of the current literature was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines by accessing the NCBI PubMed and PMC database, academic sites and books. The articles were searched from January 1997 to July 2014 and comprised English-language articles that included adult patients between 18 and 80 years old with minimal residual bone above the mandibular canal who had undergone inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) repositioning with a minimum 6 months of follow-up. Results A total of 16 studies were included in this review. Nine were related to IAN transposition, 4 to IAN lateralization and 3 to both transposition and lateralization. Implant treatment results and complications were presented. Conclusions Inferior alveolar nerve lateralization and transposition in combination with the installation of dental implants is sometimes the only possible procedure to help patients to obtain a fixed prosthesis, in edentulous atrophic posterior mandibles. With careful pre-operative surgical and prosthetic planning, imaging, and extremely precise surgical technique, this procedure can be successfully used for implant placement in edentulous posterior mandibular segments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Fractures of the atrophic edentulous mandible are a rare complication that can become severe after the insertion of dental implants. This in vitro study investigated the effects of different implant settings varying in number, diameter, and length. and the influence of a fixed bar. MATERIALS AND METHODS In biomechanical experiments on artificial mandibles, an unmodified reference group, four implant settings with two different implants, and the effect of adding a fixed bar to these settings were tested. All specimens were loaded with incisal biting forces until failure due to fracture. RESULTS Implants weakened all specimens significantly compared with those in the reference group. Without a fixed bar, four short and thick implants showed the best results, with high significance. With a fixed bar, four long and thin implants withstood the highest loads. The addition of fixed bars reduced the differences between the implant settings. Fixed bars did not show increased stability for all groups; however, these groups showed a higher mean strength. CONCLUSIONS Four implants with a short and thick design should be the first choice when implants are placed without a fixed bar in an atrophic mandible. With a fixed bar, four long and thin implants should be used.

Abstract
Pathological mandibular fractures are rare, accounting for fewer than 2% of all fractures of the mandible. They could be defined as fractures that occur in regions where bone has been weakened by an underlying pathological process. Pathological fractures usually may follow surgical interventions such as third molar removal or implant placement, result from regions of osteomyelitis, osteoradionecrosis, and bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, occur because of idiopathic reasons or be facilitated by cystic lesions, benign, malignant, or metastatic tumors. Pathological mandibular fractures may be challenging to treat because of their different etiology and peculiar local and general conditions, often requiring a more rigid fixation. In patients with poor medical conditions, simpler and more limited options may be preferred.

Abstract
PURPOSE We determined the outcomes of 18 inferior alveolar nerve lateral transposition procedures in 15 consecutive patients. The advantages and disadvantages of this technique are discussed. RESULTS The surgical protocol for inferior alveolar nerve transposition, followed by implant placement, presented excellent results, with complete recovery of the sensitivity within 6 months after the surgical procedure. DISCUSSION Inferior alveolar nerve transposition is an option for prosthetic rehabilitation in cases of moderate or even severe bone reabsorption for patients that do not tolerate removable dentures. CONCLUSIONS It is concluded that inferior alveolar nerve transposition can be safely and predictably performed with low risk to the mental nerve sensibility. Each patient should be advised of the chance of permanent nerve deficit throughout the distribution of the mental nerve. Alternative restorative solutions should also be considered.

Abstract
PURPOSE Restoration of the atrophic partially edentulous posterior mandible with implant retained prostheses has proved to be problematic, with no ideal treatment modality. The purpose of this report is to offer a novel method of treatment using tilted endosseous implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 64 patients with edentulous spans of the mandible and less than 9.5 mm of alveolar bone overlying the inferior alveolar nerve had implants placed. The implants were placed in a bicortical manner with the porous hydroxyapatite placed subperiosteally if more than 1 mm of the apex of the implant was placed beyond the lingual cortex of the mandible. These implants were allowed to osseointegrate for 3 to 5 months and restored using custom-angled abutments. RESULTS A total of 196 implants were placed in 64 patients from March 2003 through July 2008. Two implants were lost owing to a lack of osseointegration. No implants were lost because of prosthodontic failure. No damage to the neurovascular structures or permanent paresthesia was noted. CONCLUSIONS Our initial results have shown that the use of tilted implants combined with custom abutments is a viable treatment modality for patients with atrophic edentulous mandibular spans that lack the required alveolar height for traditional dental implants.
