Gaggl AlexanderAbstract
Loss of teeth is accompanied with loss of function and therefore reduction of alveolar bone height. Insufficient bone height can jeopardize the anchorage of implants or surgical procedures such as distraction osteogenesis, because of possible mandibular nerve damage. The goal of this investigation was to determine the exact course of the intramandibular nerve in edentulous mandibles.
