Abstract
A ltered or impaired sensation of the distribution of the inferior alveolar and lingual branches of the trigeminal nerve is most commonly associated with complications of mandibular third molar surgery. Numerous reports and reviews of this problem reveal, however, that the late onset of impaired sensation is uncommon and that nerve dysfunction related to postsurgical infection is unusual. Three cases will be reported in this article, with a discussion of the possible pathophysiologic mechanism of injury, Therapy and prognosis for recovery will also be discussed.
