Area of Science:

  • Oral Surgery
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Third molar extraction is a common dental procedure.
  • Nerve injury is a potential complication, though rare.

Observation:

  • A patient developed temporary hypoglossal nerve paralysis post-third molar extraction.
  • The condition presented as a rare complication of the surgical procedure.

Findings:

  • The hypoglossal nerve paralysis was temporary.
  • Full recovery was observed within one week of the surgical intervention.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing rare neurological complications after dental surgery.
  • Understanding the pathophysiology can aid in preventing or mitigating such events.
