Nerve repositioning, also known as nerve lateralization, is the relocation of the inferior dental nerve, which gives sensation to the chin and lower lip areas.
If you’ve had bone loss in the lower jaw due to missing teeth or periodontal disease, placing an implant in the remaining bone may cause damage to the nerve as there is little bone to protect it. Nerve repositioning carefully makes way to move the nerve into a safer location so that implants can be placed without damage.
