Treatment of Atrophy of the Lower Jaw Tissues in Israel

With prolonged absence of teeth in the lower jaw area, atrophy of the bone tissue occurs, resulting in the lower jaw canal being positioned higher than usual, making dental implantation impossible. In this case, only lateralization (relocation) of the mandibular nerve and the installation of dental implants of sufficient length can help.

Dental Implantation in Cases of Bone Tissue Atrophy in Israel

Atrophy of the Lower Jaw Tissues

  • The nerve relocation surgery is performed only by the best and most experienced surgeons.
  • The surgery is conducted under general anesthesia, as manipulations with the nerve require complete immobility of the patient, so no unpleasant effects are felt.
  • The most modern equipment is used during the surgery, such as a piezo-surgical device, the actions of which are constantly monitored using three-dimensional volumetric computed tomography.
  • During the surgery, removable constructions are eliminated and the frontal teeth are stabilized.
  • The temporomandibular joint and muscle tone of the jaw are stabilized.
  • Atrophy of the alveolar ridge is reduced.
