INTRODUCTION: Data relating to the prognosis of nasopalatine nerve severance during surgical exposure and bonding or extraction of palatally impacted teeth are limited. The aim of this evaluation of clinical care was to determine the effect of partially or completely severing the nasopalatine nerve during dental surgical procedures in children. METHODS: Outcomes data from one month following surgery were compared for cases where the nerve was not damaged, partially severed or completely severed. RESULTS: None of the 28 children who had the nasopalatine bundle partially or completely severed had any long-term paraesthesia in the anterior palate region. CONCLUSIONS: This paper provides evidence and reassurance regarding the prognosis following nasopalatine nerve severance in paediatric patients, for both clinicians and patients/parents. Postoperative healing in dental surgical cases where the nasopalatine nerve is severed in children can be uneventful. Informed consent and discussion of the associated risks is still needed preoperatively, however. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
