    Abstract:
    Replacement of missing posterior mandibular teeth in severely atrophied jaws can be quite challenging. Various treatment options have been proposed for the rehabilitation of the deficient posterior mandible with implant-supported prostheses. Depending on the clinical situation, it may be feasible to place implants lateral to the inferior alveolar nerve, which represents a viable treatment option under the proper circumstances. This article defines the indications and limitations of this approach and presents the treatment planning and surgical management of three selected cases and their outcomes 1 to 5 years after implant loading.
