IAN neurosensory deficit occurred in 16.89% of subjects, highlighting a prevalent risk of nerve injury.
Statistical analysis confirms age is a significant independent risk factor for IAN injury during lower third molar extraction.
Observational analysis focuses on the relationship between age and IAN injury risk near the inferior alveolar nerve.
Findings emphasize the need for thorough preoperative evaluations considering patient age to mitigate nerve injury risks.
Abstract
IAN neurosensory deficit occurred in 16.89% of subjects. Age was a statistically significant independent risk factor of IAN injury and should be considered in preoperative planning.
