Abstract
Introduction: For many years, the placement of implants in the posterior mandibular area was limited by the inadequate width and bone height, with the presence of the lower dental nerve being the principal obstacle. At present, this limitation has been resolved thanks to the development of advanced implant surgical techniques, among which is the lateralisation of the inferior dental nerve. Objective: To analyse the survival of the implants placed with immediate load by means of the technique of lateralisation of the inferior dental nerve at three years of loading. Clinical case: Female patient of 50 years of age, who came to the Oral Surgery and Implantology Service of the hospital Virgen de la Paloma for the implant rehabilitation of the lower arch in which was presented severe mandibular atrophy. Conclusion: The insertion of implants with immediate loading in combination with the lateralisation technique of the inferior dental nerve is a predictable alternative in cases of severe mandibular atrophy.
