Neurosensory Deficits of the Mandibular Nerve Following Extraction of Impacted Lower Third Molars-A Retrospective Study.

Background: Neurosensory deficits are one of the major complications after impacted lower third molar extraction leading to an impaired patient's quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of neurosensory deficits after lower third molar extraction and compare it radiologically to the corresponding position of the inferior alveolar nerve.

Methods: In a retrospective study, all patients who underwent impacted lower third molar extraction between January and December 2019 were compiled.
