Sensory disturbances to the peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve can be a debilitating disruption to patients, leading to problems with speech and mastication, food and liquid incompetence as well as difficulty with daily activities. Trigeminal nerve injuries may arise from a number of causes in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The most common cause results from the removal of impacted third molars. Other causes include orthognathic surgery, endodontic surgery, implant placement, fractures, pre-prosthetic surgery and treatment of maxillofacial pathology. This 60-minute webinar will review relevant neural anatomy, etiologies of nerve injuries and testing procedures to monitor and document nerve injuries and their timing for optimal outcomes.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Describe neural anatomy as applied to nerve injuries.
- Review the different mechanisms of trigeminal nerve injuries.
- Use testing modalities to evaluate, document and monitor progression of nerve injuries.
