Lateralization of the Inferior Alveolar Nerve in the Rehabilitation of Mandibular Atrophy: Case Report.

The lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve, or LIAN procedure, may be a surgical consideration for implant-prosthetic rehabilitation in the edentulous mandibular posterior region. This technique can be advantageous in that it does not require a donor site and allows for the immediate placement of an implant, potentially leading to reduced morbidity, healing time, and costs. Although such risks as altered sensory nerve function and weakening of the mandibular body are associated with the LIAN procedure, it is a viable alternative to various regenerative techniques to rehabilitate a patient with an implant-supported fixed prosthesis.

Morpho-functional restoration of an element in esthetic area through modified intentional replantation: A case report with 16 months follow-up.

This study aims to evaluate the success of the morpho-functional restoration of a tooth with subgingival carious lesion using the modified replantation technique, which entails the rotation of the element of 180° on its axis. This study has a follow-up of 16 months. A 68-year-old man comes to rehabilitate the esthetic and the functionality of element 1.
