Immediate loading of one-piece implants in conjunction with a modified technique of inferior alveolar nerve lateralization: 10 years follow-up.


ABSTRACT: This report describes a treatment modification for a patient presented with severely resorbed bilateral edentulous posterior mandible and mobility of the anterior teeth. There was less than 8 mm of bone between the crest of the alveolar ridge and the mandibular canal as revealed by radiographic examination. A modified technique for inferior alveolar nerve lateralization (IANL) in conjunction with ridge expansion was performed using threaded bone expanders, which allowed for better primary stability and placing longer implants. A total of four postextraction implants were in the anterior region of the mandible. The mandible received a total of nine one-piece implants to allow for immediate nonfunctional loading. The definitive ceramometallic prosthesis was delivered 3 months postoperatively. The 10 years clinical and radiographic assessment showed minimal bone resorption around osseointegrated implants. One-piece implants showed great success rate and minimal bone resorption following the modified technique of IANL and immediate implantation.
