Inferior Alveolar Nerve Injury

Background/Aim. The injury of inferior alveolar nerve during a surgical extraction of impacted lower third molars, followed by sensory disturbance, is, for the patient, an extremely unpleasant complication. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of this complication after the third molar surgery and its frequency depending on a tooth position and tooth relation to the mandibular canal. Methods. In this study, 800 surgical extractions of the impacted lower third molar were performed. The position of the impacted tooth was recorded according to the Winter classification, as well as the ratio of their root tips to the mandibular canal using the Tanaka et al. and Rood and Shebab classifications. Results. The frequency of the recorded post extraction sensory disturbance was 2.25%, most frequently when teeth were in the mesioangular position. Concerning Tanaka and al. classification, the incidence of injuries was inversely proportional to the increase of distance between roots and mandibular canal with the statistical significance in cases where mandibular canal overlaps more than a half of the root of the tooth (p = 0.001). Considering the radiological signs recommended by Rood and Shehab, a higher frequency of the inferior alveolar nerve injury was recorded when illumination in the area of the root tips was present and when the loss of linear overshadowing characterized by the ?roof? and the ?bottom? of the mandibular canal were observed, or diversion of the canal and root deflection, but without a statistical significance. Conclusion. The superposition of the mandibular canal with the lower third molar roots at the panoramic radiographies may increase a possibility of the inferior alveolar nerve injury. The angulations of the impacted lower third molar as well as the vicinity of the tips of its roots to the content of the mandibular canal, do not significantly affect the frequency of the nerve injury.

Objective: To systematically review the role of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on lumbar spondylolysis. Method: Literature search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, PEDro and Scopus databases to identify relevant studies published between 2010 and 2020 by using medical subject headings and applying Booleans, such as low-intensity pulsed ultrasound OR interventional ultrasound AND lumbar spine OR lumbar region AND spondylolysis OR stress fracture. Unpublished studies were hand-searched in the journals, abstracts of conferences were reviewed, and citation index was used for searching experts in the field and then contacting them for information. Studies included were the ones that had at least one of the following outcomes: bone union rate, treatment period to bone union and time to return to previous activities. Results: Of the 243 studies identified, 228(94%) were full text articles and only 2(0.8%) studies were critically appraised for qualitative synthesis based on bone union rate, treatment period to bone union, and time to return to previous activities. Conclusion: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound was found to be effective for bone union and a useful therapy for quick return to playing sports in patients with lumbar spondylolysis. Key Words: Lumbar region, Spondylolysis, Interventional ultrasound, Systematic review.

Inferior Alveolar Nerve Injury

Background: The surgical guide enabled the surgeon to accurately perform osteotomy, mini- mize iatrogenic injury to vital structure in vicinity to osteotomy and moving the bony segments to desired position exactly as planned during computer simulation. The purpose of this study is assess the role of computer assisted designed and manufactured surgical guide in minimizing inferior alveolar nerve injury during sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO). Materials and Methods: A prospective double blind, randomized controlled, clinical trial is designed to assess role of computer assisted designed and manufactured surgical guide in min- imizing inferior alveolar nerve injury during sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO). We had two study group, the side of mandibular ramus that were treated by conventional SSRO (can be right or left) and the side that was treated using the computer designed and manufactured surgical guideof same patient (can be right or left side). For every patient the side of mandibular and osteotomy technique was selected by simple random sampling technique (double coin tossing). The statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 25 (statistics package for social sciences, Chicago. IL). Statistical significance threshold was set to 0.05 (p-value<0.05). Result: The study population consisted of 10 subjects undergoing SSRO (Sagittal split ramus osteotomy). Seven (70%) were female and three were male. Their mean (±SD) age was 22.4±3024 yrs., range 16 to 27. The mean (±SD) duration of osteotomy on surgical guide assisted SSRO side was 37.2±4.83 and for conventional SSRO side it was 28.2±4.10 and the difference is statistically significant. Conclusion: Using CAD/CAM surgical guide for SSRO has no significant difference with con- ventional osteotomy technique regarding minimizing the incidence of inferior alveolar nerve inju- ries that occurs intraoperatively.
