Reposicionamiento del nervio

The inferior alveolar nerve, which gives feeling to the lower lip and chin, may need to be moved in order to make room for the placement of dental implants in the lower jaw. UNA nerve repositioning procedure is limited to the lower jaw and may be indicated when teeth are missing in the area of the two back molars and/or second premolars. This procedure is considered a very aggressive approach since there is almost always some postoperative numbness of the lower lip and jaw area, which typically dissipates very slowly, but may be permanent. Por lo general, otros, las opciones menos agresivas se consideran primero (colocación de implantes de cuchillas, etc).

Típicamente, we remove an outer section of the cheek on the side of the lower jaw bone in order to expose the nerve and vessel canal. We then isolate the nerve and vessel bundle in that area and slightly pull it out to the side. We then place the implants while tracking the neuro-vascular bundle. Luego, el paquete se libera y se vuelve a colocar sobre los implantes.. The surgical access is refilled with material de injerto óseo of the surgeon’s choice and the area is closed.

These procedures may be performed separately or together depending upon the individual’s condition. Como se dijo anteriormente, Hay varias zonas del cuerpo que son adecuadas para la realización de injertos óseos.. In the maxillofacial region bone grafts can be taken from inside the mouth, in the area of the chin or third molar region, or in the upper jaw behind the last tooth. In more extensive situations a greater quantity of bone can be attained from the hip or the outer aspect of the tibia at the knee. When we use the patient’s own bone for repairs or additions, generalmente obtenemos los mejores resultados.

In many cases, we can use allograft material to implement injerto óseo para implantes dentales. This bone is prepared from cadavers and is used to get the patient’s own bone to grow into the repair site. Es bastante efectivo y muy seguro.. Los materiales sintéticos también se pueden utilizar para estimular la formación de hueso.. Incluso usamos factores de su propia sangre para acelerar y promover la formación de hueso en las áreas del injerto..

Estas cirugías se realizan en el quirófano fuera del consultorio bajo sedación intravenosa o anestesia general.. Después del alta, bed rest is recommended for one day, as well as limited physical activity for one week.
