Variation in the branching pattern of mandibular division of trigeminal nerve has remain one of the commonest cause among the surgeons for not obtaining adequate local anesthesia in routine oral or dental procedure. In this article, we discuss about a case of an unusual communication between mylohyoid and lingual nerve in a 50-year-old female cadaver seen in a routine dissection in medical coll...

UNLABELLED Coronectomy of mandibular third molars is a well established technique that is going through a resurgence as it seems to reduce the risk of inferior dental nerve (IDN) injury. The reservation with the technique arises because of fear that the retained root will become infected and symptomatic over time. General dental practitioners will be responsible for the long-term review and car...

Liposuction is commonly used to address submental fullness. This method, however, is dependent on the quality of the patient’s skin. Injury to the marginal mandibular nerve as well as over suctioning of the fat can lead to contour irregularities. Additionally, isolated submental liposuction may not address submental fullness and the aging face fully; thus, a cervicoplasty consisting of an open ...

Mandibular third molars are the most common impacted teeth. Mandibular first and second molars do not share the same frequency of occurrence. In rare cases the occlusal surfaces of impacted molars are united by the same follicular space and the roots pointing in opposite direction; these are called kissing molars. In some cases, a supernumerary fourth molar can be seen as unerupted and, in this...

Neuropathy of the mental nerve is a rare condition that demands accurate differential diagnosis. A 69-year-old male experienced progressive hypoaesthesia of the right side of the corner of the mouth and chin, associated with intermittent phases of pain. Plain radiographs and computerised tomography (CT) scans revealed the mental foramen on the top of the toothless mandible and a symmetrically d...

The cutaneous sensibility for vibration and temperature in the trigeminal skin area was examined with quantitative methods in 30 patients with a previous soft-tissue injury of the cervical spine. Sixteen patients with chronic and disabling symptoms had significantly increased thresholds for vibration over the ophthalmic (p less than 0.001) and mandibular (p less than 0.01) divisions of the trig...

Paraesthesia can be a complication of surgical intervention. Its occurrence after dental local anaesthetic use is a rare event in general dental practice. Reported cases have mainly described its presentation for the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve with very few reports for the maxillary division of this nerve. This report describes a case of paraesthesia in the maxillary region fol...
