The neurosensory deficit of inferior alveolar nerve following bilateral sagittal split osteotomy: a prospective study
ConclusionsThe 2PD sensation was the most affected sense on the last visit, and the right side of the chin and lower lip was affected most both on early and long-term follow-up due to several reasons. A 3-month period was enough as a recovery time to restore 100% of neurological sensation for 45% of the sample, which is similar to several studies in the literature. A single surgeon did not show superior result compared to two surgeons ’ literature papers. Advancement movement was associated with a high percentage of hypoesthesia.
