Among the nerves involved in orthognathic surgery, the inferior alveolar nerve is known for causing discomfort after surgery...
Let's understand why this nerve can cause concern during the procedure!!
The inferior alveolar nerve is responsible for the sensitivity of the lower teeth, gums, and lips.
During orthognathic surgery, which aims to correct jaw deformities, the positioning of the bones can affect this nerve, causing paresthesia (burning, tingling...) or even complete loss of sensitivity.
Paresthesia is an abnormal sensation, such as tingling, numbness, itching, or burning in the affected chin and lip area.
The possibility of paresthesia in the chin and lip caused by the inferior alveolar nerve is a factor that causes concern among patients and healthcare professionals undergoing orthognathic surgery!
It is important to note that not all patients who undergo orthognathic surgery experience problems with the inferior alveolar nerve. However, the possibility of complications exists and should be carefully discussed and evaluated before the procedure.
An experienced and qualified maxillofacial surgeon is essential to minimize the risk of damage to the inferior alveolar nerve during orthognathic surgery. These professionals have the knowledge and skill necessary to avoid or mitigate complications related to the nerve.
