Inferior alveolar nerve damage following removal of mandibular third molar teeth.

Open publisher page 17 citations

Abstract

Due to anatomical location, it is possible to traumatize inferior alveolar nerve. Inferior Alveolar Nerve (IAN) injury is a serious neurological complication which can result from a number of reasons, the most common of which is by performing oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures. These nerves can be damaged as the result of direct or indirect forces. Despite these complications, the removal of third molars associated with disease is generally justified. The purpose of this paper is to identify the incidence of IAN damage following the removal of mandibular third molar teeth.
