Brief Summary

In many cases the bone of the edentulous posterior mandibular regions is atrophied such that sufficiently long fixtures cannot be placed without encroaching on the inferior alveolar nerve so rehabilitation of these regions with severe ridge atrophy represents anatomical, surgical, and biological difficulties, and provides a challenge to the dental surgeon. Several surgical techniques have been employed in an attempt to allow implant placement in these regions. one of these techniques is inferior alveolar nerve transposition or lateralization. The lateralization of the inferior alveolar nerve has the advantages of that it allow placement of longer implants which gives better stability,but this technique has the disadvantage of high risk of temporary or permanent inferior alveolar nerve dysfunction. In most of the cases of inferior alveolar nerve lateralization it is directly repositioned on the implant surface or a bone graft is placed in between them. In a previous study on dogs found that presence of a resorbable membrane between the inferior alveolar nerve and the implant surface lead to the formation of a soft tissue zone between them while in the group where no membrane was used there was intimate contact between them.This intimate contact may lead to the dysfunction symptoms,also the intimate contact between the implant threads and the nerve act as a source of chronic irritation. Platelet rich fibrin membrane is a platelet concentrate which allow slow and sustained release of high quantities of growth factors over long period of time thus improves healing of hard and soft tissue and optimizing wound healing. in this study we will assess the effect of platelet rich fibrin membrane on the improvement of the neurosensory disturbances which occur after inferior alveolar nerve lateralization which considered as the main disadvantage of this technique.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Subjective assessment of the change in the neurosensory function of inferior alveolar nerve

    a 10 cm, 5 degree visual analogue scale with divisions at 2.5 cm intervals, the divisions on the VAS was: 1. Complete absence of sensations. 2. Almost no sensation. 3. Reduced sensation. 4. Almost normal sensation. 5. Fully normal sensation. Patients were asked to mark "x" on the line at each testing session that represent their opinion about sensation of the lower lip.

    pre-operative assessment (base line) and 1 week,2 weeks, 1 month, three months,six months postoperative

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • clinical assessment of the change in the neurosensory function of inferior alveolar nerve:

    pre-operative assessment (base line) and 1 week,2 weeks, 1 month, three months,six months postoperative.

  • clinical assessment of the change in the neurosensory function of inferior alveolar nerve :

    pre-operative assessment and (base line) 1 week,2 weeks, 1 month, three months,six months postoperative.

  • clinical assessment of the change in the neurosensory function of inferior alveolar nerve

    pre-operative assessment (base line) and 1 week,2 weeks, 1 month, three months,six months postoperative.

Other Outcomes (1)

  • electrophysiological assessment of the change in the neurosensory function of the inferior alveolar nerve

    pre-operative assessment (base line) and two weeks postoperative
