title: Achieving implant reconstruction through bilateral mandibular nerve repositioning.
abstract: Grafting is one treatment option for patients who have insufficient bone for implant placement. However, repositioning the neurovascular bundle also can allow for placement of endosseous implants. This case illustrates bilateral repositioning of the mandibular nerves and subsequent implant placement.
