Popis: A risk management protocol for the placement of implants in the posterior mandible is a sensible precaution for reducing the risk of nerve damage and the risk of possible litigation. This paper identifies the need for careful treatment planning and the use of relevant tests (e.g., the CT scan). A protocol is presented that advised the use of certain procedures to reduce the risk of nerve damage. These procedures consider the incision, the type of anesthetic, x-rays as you proceed, the type of implant, and use of anti-inflammatories.
