objective: to evaluate sensorimotor nerve damage in patients with maxillofacial trauma referring to taleghani hospital, tehran, iran methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted during a 2-year period from 2014 to 2012 in taleghani hospital of tehran. we included a total number of 495 patients with maxillofacial trauma referring to our center during the study period. the demographic inform...

ABSTRACT Aims The inferior alveolar nerve block provides sensory blockade of the body of the mandible and its associated structures. Two approaches, the intraoral and extraoral techniques, can be used. We hypothesized that the intraoral approach would result in a more accurate placement of solution at the inferior alveolar nerve. Methods Five canine cadavers (10-15 kg) were used. A random numbe...

BACKGROUND The inferior alveolar nerve courses anteriorly within the mandibular canal, providing sensory nerve supply to the mandibular teeth, the buccal mucosa, the gingiva, and the soft tissues of the lower lip and chin. To avoid damage to this nerve and resulting sensory disturbances, its exact location must be known before placement of a dental implant. Imaging modalities currently used to ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Dentists administer thousands of local anesthetic injections every day. Injection to a highly vascular area such as pterygomandibular space during an inferior alveolar nerve block has a high risk of intravascular needle entrance. Accidental intravascular injection of local anesthetic agent with vasoconstrictor may result in cardiovascular and central nervous system toxicity,...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this article is to systematically review diagnostic procedures and risk factors associated with inferior alveolar nerve injury following implant placement, to identify the time interval between inferior alveolar nerve injury and its diagnosis after surgical dental implant placement and compare between outcomes of early and delayed diagnosis and treatment given based on...

ABSTRACT Repeated sagittal split osteotomy might impose an increased risk for damage of the inferior alveolar nerve. Another contemporary orthognathic issue is surgical management malocclusion following condylar resorption. Here we describe a modified C-osteotomy technique as proposed solution these difficulties in surgery. The induce less stress on condyles reducing relapse subsequent to resor...

This study was carried out to determine the effects of dener-vation of the pulp organs of teeth, particularly on the odontoblasts and their processes. Therefore, resection of the inferior alveolar, cervical sympathetic, or a combination of both types of nerves supplying the mandibular incisor teeth of New Zealand white rabbits was performed and the results compared to adjacent , unaltered teeth...

Inferior alveolar nerve injury is one of the most serious complications in implant dentistry. This nerve injury can occur during local anesthesia, implant osteotomy, or implant placement. Proper understanding of anatomy, surgical procedures, and implant systems and proper treatment planning is the key to reducing such an unpleasant complication. This review discusses the causes of inferior alve...

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.
