Abstract
Bone resorption of the posterior mandible can result in diminished bone edge and, therefore, the installation of implants in these regions becomes a challenge, especially in the presence of the mandibular canal and its contents, the inferior alveolar nerve. Several treatment alternatives are suggested: the use of short implants, guided bone regeneration, appositional bone grafting, distraction osteogenesis, inclined implants tangential to the mandibular canal, and the lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve. The aim was to elucidate the success rate of implants in the lateralization technique and in inferior alveolar nerve transposition and to determine the most effective sensory test. We conclude that the success rate is linked to the possibility of installing implants with long bicortical anchor which favors primary stability and biomechanics.

Introduction</title><p>With the loss of teeth, the alveolar ridge undergoes a continuous and irreversible process of bone resorption in height and thickness. Thus, mainly the posterior bone resorption sextant jaw usually leads to a reduced bead, and therefore the installation of implants in these regions becomes a challenge [<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>, <xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>].</p><p>Initially, the surgical protocol proposed by Branemark to treat edentulous mandible patients was the installation of implants in the anterior mandible between the mental foramen [<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>]. The clinical protocol for rehabilitating subsequent partial edentulous patients preserving the healthy anterior teeth and preventing dental euthanasia, which is currently not a solution adopted by the majority of patients and professionals, was modified and initiated the installation of implants in posterior regions of the jaw [<xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>].</p><p>Several surgical techniques have been developed for the rehabilitation of atrophic jaws with the installation of dental implants [<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>], such as the use of devices for distraction osteogenesis [<xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>], bone grafts [<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>], guided bone regeneration [<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>], short implants [<xref rid="B9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>], implant installation sideways to the nerve [<xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>], and the lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve (LIAN) [<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>, <xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>, <xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>]. For the revising of the atrophic posterior mandible, there are two techniques regarding the alveolar nerve, the first of which calls for the inferior alveolar nerve transposition (IANT) through a bone window created in the cortical bone of the jaw, posterior to the mental foramen without including it. The second method includes the mental foramen in the bone window created and is called the inferior alveolar nerve transposition (IANT) [<xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>, <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>]. Smiler [<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>] notes that the nerve mobilization with the involvement of the mental foramen allows the placement of implants in the region of the canines and the bicuspids. An osteotomy may be performed with rotary tools, drills, or reciprocal devices such as piezoelectric ultrasound technology [<xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>].</p><p>The lateralization technique for the inferior alveolar nerve (LIAN) allows for the installation of implants to correct the positioning or to move them closer to the ideal, improving the possibility of direct view at the time of surgery [<xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]. Using the higher cortical and basal body of the mandible, the implant is encased in a better-quality bone, unlike the reconstruction implants installed in the region with grafts [<xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>]. Compared to the reconstruction methods with grafts, the lateralization procedure does not require donor areas, which decreases patient morbidity, lowers costs, provides ready installation of long implants (because it uses all the remaining jaw bone), and prevents patients from waiting six to eight months for treatment [<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>].</p><p>The posterior mandible has a higher quantity of narrow bone when compared to chin symphysis region that has more cortical bone. The LIAN technique provides a biomechanically favorable result to chewing loads occurring in the posterior region of the mandible. This technique establishes a good proportion between the implant length and the prosthesis length [<xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>] compared to the use of short implants to preserve the mandibular canal, which presents lower initial stability and poor biomechanics that have been impaired by having a unicortical anchor [<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>].</p><p>Jensen and Nock [<xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>] were the first to report the rehabilitation of the atrophic posterior mandible using dental implants in conjunction with inferior alveolar nerve transposition.

Discussion</title><p>The installation of dental implants is directly related to the amount and quality of bone present in the region to be restored. Later surgeries on extant edentulous jay are challenging due to the high degree of atrophy of the alveolar bone, preventing the installation of implants in the region. This is especially so in cases where the anatomical limitation has been caused by the presence of the mandibular canal and its contents, the IAN [<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>, <xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>, <xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>].</p><p>Some treatment options can be used for reconstruction of bone: guided bone regeneration, short implants, laterally tilted implants installed near the nerve, distraction osteogenesis, and IANT or LIAN [<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>, <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>, <xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>, <xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>–<xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>].</p><p>However, in the reconstruction with bone grafts, it is difficult to predict the gain of the alveolar crest due to difficulties in coating and bone quality [<xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>]. Short implants have high failure rates for biomechanical problems as well as for bone quantity and quality [<xref rid="B29" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>]. The installation of the laterally inclined nerve implant is limited by abutments and it is at increased risk of biomechanical failure [<xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>]. Distraction osteogenesis is a complex technique that requires great patient cooperation and two operations [<xref rid="B31" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>].</p><p>IANT and LIAN are techniques that most satisfy the later rehabilitation of atrophic jaws. In these procedures, the implant placement occurs in the correct position or as close as possible to the ideal, improving for a direct view at the time of surgery, unlike the implants inclined laterally to the nerve [<xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]. Using the upper and cortical basal body of the jaw, the implant is encased in a better-quality bone, unlike the implants installed in the reconstruction of regions with short grafts and implants. Furthermore, implants have better distribution of occlusal loads, favorable biomechanics, a high success rate, a single operative step, a shorter treatment time, a smaller cost, and less patient morbidity [<xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>].</p><p>The disadvantages of the LIAN and IANT techniques are associated with potential complications such as sensorineural dysfunction (reported by all authors), mandibular fracture [<xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>], and osteomyelitis [<xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>]. Chrcanovic and Custódio [<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>] reported that the surgical technique does not recover the original anatomy of the jaw, leading to an impaired aesthetic of prosthetic rehabilitation.</p><p>According to the authors consulted [<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>, <xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>, <xref rid="B34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>, <xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>], the execution of the osteotomy with the piezoelectric device promotes a simpler and safer approach in the surgical techniques of LIAN and IANT compared to techniques using conventional rotary instruments, as they (in this case, the IAN) promote a bone cut without causing injury to the soft tissue. In cases of LIAN and IANT surgeries, the flaps required for IAN access to the cortical bone create a smaller exposure area. They also increase the possibility of making a smaller bone window, decrease the nerve traction in the chin, and decrease the possible sensorineural damage, all the while preserving a larger amount of the remaining bone, thereby preventing mandibular fracture.</p><p>For the analysis of the neurosensory function of IAN, the most commonly used test is two-point discrimination, as reported by several authors [<xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>, <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>, <xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>, <xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>, <xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>, <xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>, <xref rid="B27" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>, <xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>, <xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>, <xref rid="B34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>]. Other objective tests were used such as the light touch test light, the heat test, the cold pin prick test, and the pressure test, as reported by several authors [<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>, <xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>, <xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>, <xref rid="B29" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>, <xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>]. Nocini et al. [<xref rid="B36" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>]. Aside from these tests, a test was conducted to measure objective electrophysiological nerve conduction velocity and sensory action potential.</p><p>In addition to the objective tests, Kan et al. [<xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>], Nocini et al. [<xref rid="B36" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>], Morrison et al. [<xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>], Ferrigno et al. [<xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>], and Hashemi [<xref rid="B27" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>] used a subjective analysis through a simple questionnaire, which patients used to report the presence or absence of pain, paresthesia, anesthesia, hypoesthesia, hyperesthesia, or dysesthesia. In this study, a sensorineural disorder patient was assessed by the light touch test to diagnose the type of nerve fibers damaged by the surgical procedure. The tactile discrimination test was also conducted to delimit the area affected by sensory damage in the case of hypoesthesia. Monitoring during the postoperative period was performed using the two-point discrimination test.</p><p>Some LIAN procedures showed no sensory damage in the postoperative period, while in other procedures sensitivity returned in a month. Ferrigno et al. [<xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>] performed 19 LIAN procedures and, through subjective and objective testing (light touch, pain, and two-point discrimination), observed that, after anesthesia, no sensory damage had occurred in nine of the procedures. It occured after a month in two patients and in one procedure the patient reported sensory damage and permanent hypoesthesia.</p><p>In some IANT reports, all patients had sensory damage postoperatively. Without the use of any test, Friberg et al. [<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>] observed in 10 IANT procedures that all operated regions had a total loss of sensation one week postoperatively. A month later, two regions had completely returned to normal, and after six months, 70% of the regions had total sensory normality. Also without the use of any test, Chrcanovic and Custódio [<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>] presented the results of 18 IANT procedures using the conventional technique with drills. Patients underwent low-intensity laser application and Citoneurin© 5000 IU. All patients reported the initial change in sensitivity (paresthesia) and observed total recovery of sensitivity within six months (1 case in 2 months; 7 cases in 4 months; 5 cases in 5 months; and 5 cases in 6 months).</p><p>The success rate reported in the LIAN and IANT implant techniques ranged from 96% to 100%. However, in the IANT procedures, some authors observed lower success rates. The case reports and literature review showed that the LIAN was suggested to be much safer than IANT. Friberg et al. [<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>] reported a rate of 86.60%, Rosenquist [<xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>] reported a rate of 93.60%, Hirsch and Brånemark [<xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>] reported rates of 80% and 100% for IANT and LIAN, and Kan et al. [<xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>] reported an average implant success rate of 93.89% and noted that a higher rate of implant loss occurred in IANT as compared to LIAN.</p></sec><sec id="sec5"><title>5.
