Implantology (dental implant placement)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Hello!
My lower first molar was extracted.
My dentist advised against an implant because, supposedly, the nerve in the jaw is close to the implant site at the first molar and the nerve could be damaged. What is your opinion of this explanation, and is it possible before the procedure to check how much space there is for an implant?
kind regards and thank you for your answer
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Before implantation we always check the anatomical conditions with an X-ray, on which the available distance from the crestal edge to the mandibular canal can be assessed with an accuracy of up to 0.1 mm.
Have a nice day!
