Incidence neurosensory deficit in mandibular fractures

Sensory disturbances in the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) prior to treatment can be attributed to various factors, including the site, type of fracture, and fracture displacement. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the incidence of inferior alveolar nerve injuries associated with mandibular frac...

Sumario:Sensory disturbances in the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) prior to treatment can be attributed to various factors, including the site, type of fracture, and fracture displacement. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the incidence of inferior alveolar nerve injuries associated with mandibular fractures before and after surgical treatment. Group A consisted of patients with inferior alveolar nerve paresthesia before treatment, while Group B consisted of patients with inferior alveolar nerve paresthesia after treatment. A significant difference was observed between the two groups, with a p-value of 0.031 (p <0.05) with the overall incidence of IAN deficit was 57.33% before treatment and 61.33% after treatment. These findings highlight the importance of promptly identifying and managing IAN injuries to minimize long-term consequences.
