Morphological variability of the human inferior alveolar nerve

Clinical Anatomy, 1997
The aims of this study were: to compare the radiographic appearance of the neurovascular bundle and its surrounding bone with the actual situation revealed on dissection; to reveal the morphology of the neurovascular bundle in dentate and edentulous subjects; and to note any changes occurring following the removal of the teeth and the consequent ...

Inferior Alveolar Nerve Repositioning and Orthognathic Surgery

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2014
Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) repositioning is a well-known technique in implant dentistry. This invaluable technique can be combined with orthognathic techniques to enhance the effect of orthognathic surgery in some selected cases.In a retrospective study, data were obtained from the archived files of Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery ...

Inferior alveolar nerve hemangioma.

The Laryngoscope, 2017
A 14-year-old male presented with lower lip numbness and a slowly enlarging mandibular mass. Computed tomography demonstrated an expansile lesion centered in the marrow space of the left mandibular body, extending along the course of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN), and expanding the mental foramen.

Inferior Alveolar Nerve Grafting

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1994
Although most commonly seen with dental extractions, inferior alveolar nerve injury is occasionally seen with orthognathic surgery and facial trauma. Nerve grafting can be performed by lateral corticotomy without the use of maxillomandibular fixation.

Coronectomy: A technique to protect the inferior alveolar nerve

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2004
Damage to the inferior alveolar nerve when extracting lower third molars is often caused by the intimate relationship between the nerve and the roots of the teeth. The technique of coronectomy, or intentional root retention, may minimize this problem.Forty-one patients underwent coronectomy on 50 lower third molars with follow-up of at least 6 months ...

Coronectomy to Prevent Damage to the Inferior Alveolar Nerve

Alpha Omegan, 2009
Conventional wisdom advises that when a tooth needs to be extracted, the whole tooth should be removed, usually with as little surrounding bone as possible. However, the evidence to support this is not compelling, and every dentist has experienced cases where the apices of teeth are not removed for a variety of reasons and, in most cases, the patient ...

Microsurgical correction of the injured inferior alveolar nerve

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1985
The pathology of inferior alveolar nerve injuries is discussed and the general and special guidelines for microsurgical reconstructive procedures are presented. Twenty-three cases are summarized: 22 cases showed marked restoration of nerve function after surgery.

Fascicular characteristics of the human inferior alveolar nerve

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1986
Ten human inferior alveolar nerves were inspected microscopically to determine the fascicular characteristics. The mean number of fascicles was 18.3 per nerve, the mean fascicular cross-sectional area was 1.4 mm2, and the mean total nerve cross-sectional area was 4.6 mm2.

Experiences with microsurgical reconstruction of the inferior alveolar nerve

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1982
Abstract In select cases, immediate or delayed inferior alveolar nerve reconstruction is indicated. The current state of the art indicates that when nerve reconstruction is to be undertaken, optimal results are achieved via microsurgical instrumentation.
