Abstract
This prospective cohort study aims to evaluate the influence of the mandibular canal
trajectory on the duration of postoperative paraesthesia in patients undergoing inferior
alveolar nerve lateralization (IANL). Twenty patients received a total of 50 dental
implants, and their postoperative paraesthesia duration, implant success rate, and
anatomical variables were assessed. All patients experienced temporary neurosensory
disturbances postoperatively during the first week, but none reported permanent issues
at the 12-month follow-up. The median paraesthesia duration was 120 days, and no
significant differences were detected between genders, anaesthesia types, or patient
satisfaction. No significant association was found between the mandibular canal
trajectory and postoperative paraesthesia duration. The implant success rate was 100%,
with all implants integrating successfully. Our findings suggest that IANL is a safe and
effective method for dental implant placement in atrophic mandibles.
