3D Guided Dental Implant Placement: Impact on Surgical Accuracy and Collateral Damage to the Inferior Alveolar Nerve (2021)
Journal Article
Mistry, A., Ucer, T., Thompson, J., Khan, R., Karahmet, E., & Sher, F. (2021). 3D Guided Dental Implant Placement: Impact on Surgical Accuracy and Collateral Damage to the Inferior Alveolar Nerve. Dentistry Journal, 9(9), 99. https://doi.org/10.3390/dj9090099

An increase in the number of implants placed has led to a corresponding increase in the number of complications reported. The complications can vary from restorative complications due to poor placement to damage to collateral structures such as nerve...
