Nerve Repositioning and Full-Arch Implant Treatment

Tooth loss and jawbone resorption are common conditions, but finding the right treatment is never easy. Mr. Dmitry, a 42-year-old from Russia, came to The East Rose Dental Clinic with severe bone resorption and multiple missing teeth. After careful consideration, he chose the All-on-6 method, hoping to quickly restore a strong and healthy smile. His recovery journey is a testament to the remarkable advancements in modern dental technology.

Initial Condition and Challenges Before Treatment

Mr. Dmitry first visited The East Rose Dental Clinic in February 2023, seeking removable dentures due to severe tooth loss and significant bone resorption. However, after consulting with the dentist about the All-on-X method, he became increasingly interested in this advanced treatment. By April 2024, he returned with a strong determination to explore it further and ultimately decided to proceed with the treatment.

His oral condition was quite complex. The upper jaw had completely resorbed, while the lower jaw also experienced significant bone loss, with nerves located nearby. Additionally, he had a history of early-onset diabetes, which increased the risk of delayed healing. This was a highly challenging case that required a skilled dentist and a well-planned treatment strategy.

Treatment Plan by The East Rose Dental Clinic

After a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition, the dental team conducted a case consultation and developed an optimal treatment plan to ensure strong chewing function, long-term stability, and a shortened recovery period. Specifically:

• For the upper jaw, the dentist recommended an All-on-6 Zygoma Implant combined with two pterygoid implants to establish a solid foundation for a fixed prosthesis.
• For the lower jaw, the plan involved All-on-6 implant placement, along with bone grafting and nerve repositioning. Initially, two options were considered:
• Autologous bone grafting, requiring a six-month healing period before implant placement.
• Nerve repositioning to allow immediate implant placement, enabling faster restoration but carrying a risk of temporary numbness post-surgery.

After careful consideration, Mr. Dmitry opted for nerve repositioning, prioritizing the shortest possible treatment duration. The success of this approach relied entirely on the precision and expertise of the dental team, as well as the clinic’s state-of-the-art facilities, ensuring the safe execution of this complex procedure.

Surgical Process and Treatment Outcome

To date, Mr. Dmitry’s case remains one of the most complex treatments performed at The East Rose Dental Clinic. So, how did the procedure unfold? Let’s take a closer look at the surgical process and the final results of his treatment.

Surgical Process

The surgery lasted over six hours, during which the dentist performed nerve repositioning, lower jaw bone grafting, and placed a total of 12 implants. 3D implant simulation technology, an X-guided navigation system, and laser therapy supported the procedure to ensure maximum precision and accelerate healing.
Post-surgery, the patient experienced no numbness in the nerve repositioned area. Approximately six to eight months later, the dentist performed keratinized gum grafting for the upper jaw and placed multi-unit abutments in preparation for the final prosthetic restoration. Just two months later, Mr. Dmitry successfully upgraded to a full-ceramic bridge, fully restoring his chewing function.

Recovery Journey and Results

After completing the treatment, Mr. Dmitry was able to chew comfortably with his new teeth. The implants integrated seamlessly, showing no signs of rejection or complications. Thanks to cutting-edge technology and a highly precise treatment process, his healing progressed rapidly, allowing him to quickly regain confidence in his daily life.
