Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Area of Science:

Oral surgery
Neurology
Endodontics

Background:

Dental procedures like injections, surgery, and endodontics pose risks of nerve injury.
Inferior alveolar and lingual nerves are most frequently affected, leading to sensory changes in the lower lip, chin, teeth, tongue, and oral mucosa.

Observation:

This report details an unusual instance of altered sensation in the midfacial area.
The altered sensation was linked to a prior endodontic procedure.

Findings:

Nerve injury from dental treatments, though infrequent, can result in sensory disturbances.
This case presents a rare complication of endodontic therapy affecting the midface.

Implications:

Dental practitioners should consider local dental causes when diagnosing facial numbness.
Recognizing endodontic procedures as a potential cause of midfacial sensory alteration is crucial for accurate diagnosis and patient management.
