Abstract
In patients with severely atrophic mandibular posterior area, implant placement is a problematic surgical procedure. Inferior alveolar nerve transpositioning technique offers better initial stability of implant and reduce the risk of permanent nerve damages. In this case report, the patient has bilateral atrophic mandibular posterior edentulous area. We placed 3 implants on each mandibular posterior area in conjunction with bilateral inferior alveolar nerve transpositioning to achieve sufficient bone height. The patient complained of paresthesia in lower lip and chin area and ptosis of lower lip after surgery. Neurosensory function was normal in 10 weeks after surgery.
