Abstract
Mandibular paresthesia is an unfortunate complication after the extraction of mandibular third molars. Damage to the inferior alveolar nerve may occur via direct or indirect injury. Careful evaluation of pre-operative panoramic radiographs with regard to root configuration and intimacy to the mandibular canal are most important. Various surgical techniques may be dictated by the radiographic presentation. When paresthesia does occur, a simple yet thorough mechanism for documentation is required. This article reviews paresthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve as a result of the extraction of the mandibular third molars.
