A method of assessment in cases of lingual nerve injury

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1990
A method for assessing lingual sensation is described, comprising sensory testing, using touch and moving two-point discrimination and patient subjective reporting. The clinical application is seen to be the evaluation of lingual nerve injury consequent upon lower third molar surgery.

Nerve Injuries in Dentistry: Lingual Nerve

Journal of Oral and Dental Care
Objectives: The aim of this review was to analyze the incidence of injuries of the lingual nerve due to third molar surgical extractions. The most relevant etiological factors, diagnostic methods and mean recovery periods were analysed. In addition, different therapeutical approaches were described. Material and Methods: Literature was selected through

Bilateral lingual nerve injury after laryngoscopy for intubation

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2001
Lingual nerve injury with resultant sensory change related to laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation is a recognized but rare complication. Right-sided lingual nerve injury is theoretically thought to be more common because of the approach with the laryngoscope along the right side of the tongue.

How to avoid iatrogenic lingual nerve injury in the retromolar area: an anatomical study of retromolar pad and lingual nerve

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2020
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the retromolar gland and pad, and the relationship between the LN and retromolar gland/pad to establish a new landmark for avoiding LN injury.Sixty-two lingual nerves from fresh-frozen cadavers were used for this study.

Surgical Management of Lingual Nerve Injuries

2013
The lingual nerve (LN) is a branch of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve, which is formed from afferent branches from the body of the tongue that travel along the lateral surface of the tongue [1]. Injury to the LN may cause significant patient morbidity and is one of the leading causes of litigation in dentistry and oral and maxillofacial

Surgical Management of Lingual Nerve Injuries

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America, 1992
SUMMARY The lingual nerve, as a commonly injured and functionally important structure, should be considered for early microsurgical repair when objective signs of normal spontaneous recovery are absent and when pain or neuropathy interferes with function.

Lingual nerve injury after use of a cuffed oropharyngeal airway

European Journal of Anaesthesiology, 2001
The cuffed oropharyngeal airway is a modified Guedel airway and is recommended for anaesthesia in spontaneously breathing patients. To our knowledge this is the first report of transient unilateral lingual nerve palsy after the use of a cuffed oropharyngeal airway to maintain anaesthesia during arthroscopy of an ankle.

The effect of injury on the properties of afferent fibres in the lingual nerve

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1992
The receptor properties of mechanosensitive afferent fibres in the lingual nerve have been studied using electrophysiological techniques in cats. In normal animals some fibres responded only to mechanical stimulation of filiform or fungiform papillae but others also responded when a cold stimulus was applied to the receptive field.

The effect of carbamazepine on injury-induced ectopic discharge in the lingual nerve

Brain Research, 2005
Previous studies have shown that the development of ectopic activity from damaged axons following nerve injury may contribute to the aetiology of sensory disturbances, including dysaesthesia. Pharmacological manipulation of this activity could provide a method of treatment for this intractable condition. In this study we have investigated the effect of

Retrospective Review of Microsurgical Repair of 222 Lingual Nerve Injuries

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2010
Injury to the lingual nerve (LN) is a known complication associated with several oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures. We have reviewed the demographics, timing, and outcome of microsurgical repair of the LN.A retrospective chart review was completed of all patients who had undergone microsurgical repair of the LN by one of us (R.A.M.) from March
