Nerve Repositioning

Nerve repositioning may be an option for patients whose inferior alveolar nerves, located near the lower molars, are in the path of a potential implant. Nerve repositioning is most frequently needed when there is insufficient bone height at the desired implant site. This procedure moves the nerve out of the way of the potential implant, allowing for optimal positioning of the implant.
