Question: 1 / 1180

Implants need to be how many mm from the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN)?

1 mm

1.5 mm

2 mm

While it may seem logical to keep implants as far away as possible from major nerves, placing them too far can also be problematic. While options A and B may seem too close to the IAN, options D and B may be too far and compromise the stability and success of the implant. Option C, at 2mm, is considered the optimal distance for placement to avoid damaging the IAN while also ensuring stability and proper osseointegration of the implant. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
