Abstract:
Sensory disturbances can occur as a result of a number of dental procedures, maxillofacial injuries and pathology. The dentist is expected to inform patients of the likelihood of nerve injury prior to conducting invasive procedures. If a patient develops a sensory deficit after treatment, the practitioner should be aware of objective means of assessment of the deficit and techniques available for management. Our understanding of nerve injury, regeneration and treatment has markedly progressed in recent years. This paper provides current information on the prevention and management of neurosensory disturbances likely to be encountered in dental practice.
