Popis: AIMS: This is a qualitative study to deepen knowledge of the impact of iatrogenic trigeminal nerve injury on dental patients.METHODS: One to one semi-structured interviews and workshops were conducted with 12 patients who had incurred a nerve injury from dental treatment. Nerve injury was diagnosed by oral surgeons via a series of neurosensory tests. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyse the narratives from the interviews. RESULTS: Key themes are presented and discussed. These include the personal impact for the patient, which includes a change in self-perception, the impact on relationships, the impact on oral healthcare and adjustment to the injury over time. Patients also discussed a change in how they perceived their dentist and other healthcare professionals, and highlighted factors they would like to change within the dental care system.CONCLUSION: Recommendations are made for clinical practice and future research.
