Analysis of Effect of Melatonin on Postoperative Sensory Nerve Recovery Following Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Anterior Mandible Fractures: A Prospective Randomized Control Trial

Melatonin can be recommended for quicker and better nerve recovery in the anterior mandibular fractures requiring close manipulation of the mental nerve during treatment.
