Abstract EN
Introduction.
Inferior alveolar nerve transposition (IANT) is a surgical technique used in implantoprosthetic rehabilitation of the atrophic lower jaw which has not been well embraced because of the high risk of damage to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN).
There are cases in which this method is essential to obtain good morphologic and functional rebalancing of the jaw.
In this paper, the authors present their experience with IANT, analyzing the various situations in which IANT is the only surgical preprosthetic option.
Methods.
Between 2003 and 2011, 35 patients underwent surgical IANT at our center.
Thermal and physical sensitivity were evaluated in each patient during follow-up.
The follow-up ranged from 14 to 101 months.
Results and Conclusion.
Based on our experience, absolute indications of IANT are as follows: (1) class IV, V, or VI of Cawood and Howell with extrusion of the antagonist tooth and reduced prosthetic free space; (2) class V or VI of Cawood and Howell with presence of interforaminal teeth; (3) class V or VI of Cawood and Howell if patient desires fast implantoprosthetic rehabilitation with predictable outcomes; (4) class VI of Cawood and Howell when mandibular height increase with inlay grafts is advisable.
