Title: Inferior Alveolar Nerve recovery after Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy of the mandible: preliminary report
Abstract: Background and objectives: Many reports have described neurosensory disturbances on Inferior Alveolar Nerve (IAN) after mandibular Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO). Paresthesia after BSSO has been reported between 12.5% and 100%. Our aim is to determine the percentage of the sensorial recovery of the area innervated by NAI after BSSO until the first year post surgery. This study is part of an investigation that is being performed since June of 2012 at Dental School of the Universidad de Chile with Hospital San Borja Arriaran, both located in Santiago, Chile. This study will have a sample of 30 patients. This is a preliminary report of the evolution of 15 patients who have completed 6 months post surgery.
