Use of panoramic radiography and computed tomography to prevent inferior alveolar nerve injury during impacted mandibular third molar surgery: Literature review. (2022). World Health Journal, 3(2), 18-20. https://doi.org/10.47422/whj.v3i2.29

Abstract

The extraction of the lower third molar is a surgical procedure performed either by specialists in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery or by a general practice dentist according to the level of complexity of the same (1), in this type of procedure one of the complications is the Injury to the lower dental nerve (IDN) or also called the lower alveolar nerve (NAI) is a fact that manifests clinical symptoms (once the effect of the anesthetic ends) after the extraction of the lower third molar, which consists of the loss of temporary or permanent sensory sensitivity (numbness), called paresthesia, to avoid this type of complications, a correct diagnosis and treatment plan are important in order to reduce the possible injury of the IDN(2).
