Abstract

A relatively large percentage of the practicing oral and maxillofacial surgeon's patients experience some degree of neurosensory impairment as a normal concomitant of major surgery. Additionally, some patients develop neurosensory disturbances unexpectedly following routine surgical procedures. This report describes a practical approach to evaluating these individuals, which is essential in making intelligent decisions regarding the objective nature of the nerve injury, potential for recovery, and/or possible need for secondary microneurosurgical intervention.
