title: Diagnosis and treatment of trigeminal nerve injuries.
abstract: Microneurosurgery has become a valuable technique in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. It is now possible to microsurgically repair injuries to the inferior alveolar and lingual nerves resulting from routine oral surgery or dental or oncologic treatment. Sensation may be improved or restored, and painful pares thesias relieved, by timely, well-performed microsurgery.
