Treatment of the patient who has sustained a nerve injury from
dental implant procedures involves prompt recognition of this
complication, evaluation of sensory dysfunction, the position of
the nerve vis-à-vis the implant, and timely management of the
injured nerve. In some patients, removal or repositioning of the
implant and surgical exploration and repair of the injured nerve
will maximize the implant patient's potential for a successful
recovery from nerve injury.
