Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America, 2001
Summary Sensory re-education is a unique treatment modality that is useful in rehabilitating a patient with a peripheral trigeminal nerve injury. The CNS possesses seemingly infinite capacity to recover from the effects of a peripheral nerve injury when subjected to the learning opportunities presented by a regimen of sensory re-education exercises.53

Third Molar Injuries of the Trigeminal Nerve

2013
Third molar extraction is one of the most common procedures performed in oral surgery. Among the possible complications, damage to the neighboring branches of the trigeminal nerve is a most dreaded complication. Although it is transient in most cases, it can leave permanent sequelae, such as hypoesthesia or dysesthesia, with a great impact on the ...

Historical Perspectives on Trigeminal Nerve Injuries

2013
Understanding and treating the effects of human neurotrauma was hampered for centuries by ancient misunderstandings of the primary loci of sensory perception. However, elegant descriptions were made of the clinical effects of nerve injuries suffered by Civil War survivors, and research following the World Wars explained many of the underlying neural ...

[Simple assessment of trigeminal nerve injury].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor tandheelkunde, 2002
This paper describes a simple method to assess trigeminal nerve injury. An easy and feasible technique, in particular for the dental surgeon, is scanning the area with altered sensation as indicated by the patient. It is important to refer the eligible patient in time for microsurgical repair of the damaged nerve.

Trigeminal nerve injury and repair.

The New York state dental journal, 1996
Injuries to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and the lingual nerve are relatively uncommon. However, there are certain routine surgical and non-surgical procedures that have the potential, albeit small, for injuring these neural structures. A review of the diagnosis, classification and management of these injuries is presented.
