Rehabilitation of edentulous posterior atrophic mandible: inferior alveolar nerve lateralization by piezotome and inmmediate implant placement

International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery 2013; Volume 42, Issue 4: 521-526

ABSTRACT

The height and consistency of the bone tissue located above the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) represents an important challenge when a patient’s atrophied posterior mandible is rehabilitated with an osseointegrated implant. Usually, the surgical reconstruction of atrophic ridges is performed using several different techniques. The purpose of this study is to demostrate the effectiveness and safety of the inferior alveolar nerve lateralization (IANL) technique performed with ultrasonic cutting technology (piezotome). To demonstrate this, 38 osseointegrated implants (11–15 mm in length) were performed during 19 procedures on 15 different patients. After 8 weeks, 14 of those 15 patients (18 of 19 sites: 94.73%) showed normal IAN function. The implant success rate was 97.36%.

UCM-Ticare University Chair for research and training

Under the direction of Prof. Mariano Sanz this University Chair gives stability to the research projects that Ticare has been developing with the UCM for years

Last January, it was signed the Extraordinary University Chair between the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) and Ticare, for the development of research and training plans in implantology in Spain and abroad.

In relation to this, Prof. Mariano Sanz remarked: “This model of Extraordinary University Chair allows a direct transparent collaboration based on scientific development between a university and a private company. This enables us to formalise research and training projects in a stable way and within an initial period of three years. Moreover, UCM and Ticare had already been carrying out research projects for almost four years, and from now on, thanks to this Chair, a medium-long-term programme and a greater formalization of it will be carried out”
