Abstract

Dental implant placement offers a predictable and long-term solution for tooth loss. However, severe bone resorption in the posterior mandible can pose a challenge due to the proximity of the inferior alveolar nerve. Surgical transposition of the mandibular alveolar nerve emerges as a viable technique to facilitate implant placement in such cases. This paper describes a case report of surgical transposition of the mandibular alveolar nerve, exploring the rationale, surgical technique, and outcomes for implant rehabilitation.
