An observational study in Alveolar Bone Loss and Neurosensory Disorder, sponsored by Marmara University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-07-10.
Sponsored by Marmara University · Observational
This prospective cohort study aims to investigate the relationship between mandibular canal trajectory and the duration of postoperative paresthesia in patients undergoing inferior alveolar nerve lateralization. The study will assess mandibular canal trajectory using anatomic factors and evaluate nerve sensory function using subjective and objective tests. Implant success criteria will also be assessed. The study will be conducted on patients who underwent IANL due to mandibular atrophy and were unable to receive standard or short implant placement. Data will be collected at regular follow-up visits up to 1-year post-surgery.
318 studies on the registry are indexed under Alveolar Bone Loss; 79 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 20 is below the median of 51 across 46 observational studies indexed under Alveolar Bone Loss.

The study population consisted of consecutive patients who were treated with inferior alveolar nerve lateralization (IANL) at Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry between June 2016 and December 2022. The patients had missing teeth in the posterior region of the mandible, in whom standard or short implant placement was not possible due to mandibular atrophy.

Light touch test results
The light touch test is a common diagnostic tool used to assess sensory perception. Patients' lower lip and chin areas will be gently stroked with a soft object, such as a piece of cotton or a brush. The patients will then be asked to report their sensation. If they feel the touch, the response is considered normal. However, any reported changes, such as numbness or tingling, can indicate possible nerve damage or recovery after surgery.
Time frame: Visits at 10 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery
2-point discrimination test results
The 2-point discrimination test is a neurological examination used to measure tactile spatial acuity. Two points of a caliper will be applied to the patients' lower lip and chin areas. The distance at which a patient can no longer differentiate between the two points provides an indicator of sensory nerve function. Any reported changes in the ability to distinguish between two points may suggest alterations in nerve sensitivity or recovery after surgery.
Time frame: isits at 10 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery.
Thickness of the buccal cortex
This outcome measure evaluates the thickness of the buccal cortex using radiographic measurements obtained from CBCT scans.

Time frame: At baseline
Change in Implant stability quotient (ISQ) values:
The Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) is a metric ranging from 1 to 100 that is used to assess implant stability within the bone, with higher values indicating greater stability. To determine ISQ values, resonance frequency analysis (RFA) or sound waves are passed through a specialized peg attached to the implant.
Time frame: During implant placement and follow-up visits at 3 months.
Change in peri-implant bone resorption
This outcome measure evaluates peri-implant bone resorption using OPTG. The amount of bone loss around the implant will be assessed and recorded.
Time frame: At 3 months, and 12 months after surgery.
Patient satisfaction
This outcome measure assesses patient satisfaction using a visual analog scale. Patients will be asked to rate their satisfaction with the treatment outcome at the 12-month follow-up visit.
Time frame: At 12 month follow-up visit
