Severe Atrophy of the Posterior Mandible and Inferior Alveolar Nerve Transposition

Abstract

The paper presents the inferior alveolar nerve transposition as a successful surgical technique when other treatment options are not possible in the severely resorbed posterior mandible. Based on three clinical cases, this technique is presented in conjunction with implant placement and immediate loading. The paper aims to present the mandibular nerve transposition as a therapeutic method and an important approach, engaging clinicians to use it when other opportunities are impossible.
