Iatrogenic trigeminal nerve injury Minimising and managing injuries in relation to dental procedures

چکیده
The trigeminal nerve is the largest peripheral sensory nerve in the human body and is represented by over 40% of the sensory cortex. The nerve supplies the face, eyes, mouth and scalp with general sensation in three divisions (ophthalmic, maxillary and mandibular) and supplies the mastication muscle. In addition the most commonly injured trigeminal nerve branches, the inferior alveolar and lingual nerves are very different entities in that the lingual nerve sits loosely in soft tissue compared with the IAN that resides in a bony canal.

Profiling of patients presenting with posttraumatic neuropathy of the trigeminal nerve.
AIMS To describe the cause, clinical signs, and symptoms of patients presenting to a tertiary care center with iatrogenic lesions to the mandibular branches of the trigeminal nerve. METHODS Pain history, pain scores using the visual analog scale, and mechanosensory testing results were recorded from 93 patients with iatrogenic lingual nerve injuries (LNI) and 90 patients with iatrogenic infer...
متن کاملPrevention of iatrogenic inferior alveolar nerve injuries in relation to dental procedures.
UNLABELLED This article aims to review current hypotheses on the aetiology and prevention of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injuries in relation to dental procedures. The inferior alveolar nerve can be damaged during many dental procedures, including administration of local anaesthetic, implant bed preparation and placement, endodontics, third molar surgery and other surgical interventions. Dama...
متن کاملManaging iatrogenic trigeminal nerve injury: a case series and review of the literature.
This study describes the management of 216 patients with post-traumatic iatrogenic lingual nerve injuries (LNIs; n=93) and inferior alveolar nerve injuries (IANI; n=123). At initial consultation, 6% IANI and 2% LNI patients had undergone significant resolution requiring no further reviews. Reassurance and counselling was adequate management for 51% IANI and 55% LNI patients. Systemic or topical...
متن کاملUpdate on coronectomy. A safer way to remove high risk mandibular third molars.
UNLABELLED Decoronation of high risk mandibular third molars (M3Ms) has become common practice in parts of UK and USA. With the introduction of Cone Beam CT scanning, there has been an evolution in the practice, with avoidance of unnecessary coronectomies based on CBCT findings. Also, additional anatomical features found only on CBCTs have introduced possible additional indications to undertake...
متن کاملConsiderations in nerve repair.
BUMC PROCEEDINGS 2003;16:152–156 Some nerve injuries require repair in order to regain sensory or motor function. Although this article focuses primarily on trigeminal nerve (TN) injuries and repairs, the facts presented may apply to any peripheral nerve repair. The primary indications for nerve repair or grafting are 1) an injury or continuity defect in a nerve, as a result of trauma, patholog...
