Abstract:
Paraesthesia and anaesthesia of the mental nerve may result from a variety of pathological conditions, and in persistent cases of orofacial sensory disturbance thorough clinical assessment, including CT scanning, is vital to exclude underlying systemic or neoplastic disease. This paper presents three patients with right mental nerve dysfunction, and reviews the aetiology of mental nerve paraesthesia and anaesthesia.
