Description
Nerve injuries may occur following dental implant placement but there is no consensus on treatment protocols, and, unfortunately, patient morbidity may be significantly affect quality of life. Proper planning can mitigate the risk of nerve damage, but prompt diagnosis and management is required when nerve injury occurs. Both non-surgical and surgical options exist to treat these injuries, and current technological advances have allowed the use of a processed nerve allograft to repair the nerve with excellent outcomes.
Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to: 1) recognize the risk factors for implant-related nerve injury; 2) explain the diagnosis and treatment options; and 3) discuss the nerve allograft treatment possibilities.
