[A prospective study on temporary and permanent sensation disorders after oral surgical measures in the lateral mandibular area].
Postoperative disturbances of sensory nerve function after dentoalveolar surgery imply forensic problems. Also the indication of microsurgical reconstruction will be discussed in these cases as well. Both questions can only be seen on the background of data material concerning those nerve complications. Therefore a clinical prospective study on functional disturbances of the inferior alveolar as well as the lingual nerve after dentoalveolar surgery in 1.107 cases was undertaken. Concerning the inferior alveolar nerve 2.2% of temporary functional disturbances were assessed while 1.4% of temporary functional disturbances for lingual nerve were found. Complete restoration of sensory function was found three months postoperatively in 20% of these cases and six months postoperatively in the remaining patients.
